Our Perspective

How we see Aspira Kensington Place Retirement Living

Aspira Kensington Place is a welcoming kosher community characterized by brightly lit spacious interiors and kind staff. The beautifully designed, elegant retirement residence implicitly provides seniors with the respectful setting they deserve. Families will be well-pleased with how loved ones live and get treated here, and they’ll enjoy visiting downtown and all that it offers.

Kensington Place is a clean, warm building featuring a piano and fireplace lounge with beautiful decor. The dining room is especially lovely, but there’s also a movie theatre and Pebble Beach Lounge, home to billiards and activities. Readers will enjoy the in-house library. The exercise area makes it easy to stay fit. For those who like being outside, there’s your choice of a peaceful courtyard out back (featuring the “Pollinator Patch” garden) or the sunlit rooftop patio.

Staff have a reputation for being gracious. Many of them have been there for several years; that loyalty and stability tell you that it’s a good place to work and to live. Suites are notably spacious and brightly lit, accessibly designed with features like grab bars. Residents enjoy the food here, finding it both savoury and plentiful. All of this is “just right” for seniors who want a safe, clean, lovely community surrounded by new friends and caring, deliberately helpful staff.

"I am so happy in my new home. The staff, all the way down from Andy Salgar, to the waitresses, nurses, cleaners, and night staff make this fully kosher place, home... Excellent food, good friendly service, a Shabbos elevator and... there are many activities for those less busy. "
