🔆Occupational therapists and Certified Aging in Place Specialists look at design features a little differently. While there are many universal design aspects... 🔅Favorite feature of this bathroom: automatic motion sensor lighting!💡 This is such a great design element for older adults and fall prevention. Being proactive in reducing risk for falls is so important. #thekensingtonreston #seniorlivingdesign #olderadults #universaldesign #inclusivedesign #bathroomdesign #seniorliving #assistedliving #memorycare #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapist #aginginplace #seniorcare #eldercare #fallprevention #dementia #disabilityinclusion #functionaldesign #ageinplace #homemodifications #accessibility #accessibledesign
🌟T.G.I.Feature Friday🌟 The Kensington, an Assisted Living and Memory Care Community, is coming to Reston! The Kensington Reston is currently under construction on Sunrise Valley Drive. This is a dream come true for the Kensington founders, who sought to build a residence where they would want their own parents to live - right in their own backyard. They recognize that choosing a senior living community for your loved one is never an easy decision and it is even more difficult today due to COVID. If you are caring for a loved one who needs more assistance than you can provide at home, then you might be asking yourself: What is the right thing to do? Or the best thing to do? Their promise is to love and care for your family as we do our own. And that starts with getting to know you and your family. Whether you need a listening ear, connection to resources or information about our services, they are there to assist. The Kensington Information Center is now open! They offer both virtual and in-person, socially distant visits. Come by and see them at 1850 Centennial Park Drive, suite 130, Reston, VA 20191 or call us at 571-494-8100!
