From Job to Career: Growth Opportunities at The Kensington Falls Church

In senior living, every role holds meaning, but not every community turns that role into a long-term career. 

At The Kensington Falls Church, we believe in nurturing our team members from day one. Whether you begin as a caregiver, dining assistant, or part-time aide, you’ll discover real opportunities for career growth in assisted living and memory care.

We’re committed to building futures, not just filling roles. This article examines how our community fosters promotions, professional development, and long-term careers in memory care, enabling team members to excel at every level.

Our Promise is to love and care for your family as we do our own.

The Kensington Falls Church Difference: Growing From Within

We don’t believe in keeping talent in one place. We believe in helping you take the next step, wherever it may lead.

Stories of Growth: More Than a Stepping Stone

Many of our most valued team members started in entry-level positions and advanced into leadership roles over time. Some began as care partners and now manage entire neighborhoods. Others discovered passions for life enrichment, wellness coordination, or clinical support.
