April Topic: Your New Normal

How To Find Moments Of Normalcy In Overwhelming Changes And Decline

Join us for an interactive discussion to better understand caregiver burden, ways to share responsibilities and when to ask for help. This caregiver support group is designed to help you understand and deal with both sides of caregiving, providing it and receiving it.

Sharing this burden can relieve this stress and hearing from others that are going through similar journeys can provide you with solutions as well.

As specialists in all aspects of care both Assisted Living and Memory Care, we offer services and programs that are thoughtfully designed, clinically comprehensive and highly personalized.

You’ve seen the signs – gradual memory loss, perhaps falls and increased frailty or worsening medical conditions and know in your heart that dementia may be a reality. But, what should you do… and where do you start?

Families of an aging loved one often reach a point where they know their loved one needs to start planning for a lifestyle change. Oftentimes, confusion, overwhelm and conflicting opinions can get families stuck before they even get started in the process. That is why we are proud to partner with Melissa Long, Certified Recreational Therapist from Insight Memory Care.

During this presentation, Melissa Long will guide you on next steps on what to do when you loved one has dementia. From recognizing the early signs, to planning ahead for long-term care, Melissa will share her expertise on how to begin the journey of caring for a loved one with dementia.

At Kensington Senior Living, Our Promise is to love and care for your family as we do our own. We are committed to improving the quality of life for seniors as well as the caregivers who love them. So we seek out support from specialty experts to help boost caregiver morale, preserve energy and keep stressors in check.

Stay movin’ with The Kensington Reston at Exercise for Parkinson’s! We’re proud to partner with the Parkinson’s Foundation of the National Capital Area to offer a weekly, in-person series to bring people together impacted by Parkinson’s Disease.

We invite you and your loved one to visit us on our courtyard at The Kensington Reston and participate in various physical exercises aimed at improving posture, balance and circulation while also increasing strength, muscle control and mobility. Join us each week to find the physical and emotional support that you need.

Our Promise at The Kensington is to love and care for your family as we do our own. And we do. We are here for you – skilled, prepared and ready to participate fully in your care journey. As specialists in all aspects of Assisted Living and Memory Care, we offer services and programs that are thoughtfully designed, clinically comprehensive and highly personalized. By offering three levels of Memory Care, we improve quality of life for our residents to the greatest extent possible. And couples are welcome, even if their care needs differ. We’re standing by, eager to listen and ready to help.

Let Us Offer New Resources for You & Your Loved One

A Memory Café is a gathering of individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) along with their caregivers, friends or family in a supportive and engaging environment. 

Our group meets onsite at Falls Church Arts and is a social gathering: an opportunity to make new friends and interact with others without fear of embarrassment or being misunderstood. Many also find it an avenue for sharing concerns and providing support. Come and share a cup of coffee, participate in an activity while meeting others for support, companionship and fun. Make new connections, discover new tools and resources – so that you can be the best caregiver!

This is a bi-monthly event:

2nd Friday Session
Led by an Insight Memory Care Staff Member

4th Friday Session
Led by Sally Evans, Falls Church Arts Instructor

We are partnering with Insight Memory Care Center. Since opening their doors in 1984,  Insight Memory Care center’s priority has been to provide specialized care, support, and education for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and other memory impairments, their families, caregivers, and the community, through their adult day health and resource center.

Let The Kensington Falls Church support you in achieving new goals in your Parkinson’s journey this New Year! Join us at our community for our weekly Parkinson’s Communications Club, led by Matthew McKeon, Speech Language Pathologist.

The Club establishes a wellness and prevention program for individuals with Parkinson’s disease and their care partners. The club is not therapy, rather, it is designed to improve your volume. The approach helps people speak loudly and clearly in order to make themselves heard. Most importantly, this club is designed in a group setting – one for all and all for one. Exercise your voice as well as your body and make yourself heard.

At The Kensington, Our Promise is to love and care for your family as we do our own. We are here for you – skilled, prepared and ready to participate fully in your care journey. As specialists in all aspects of care for Assisted Living and Memory Care, we offer services and programs that are thoughtfully designed, clinically comprehensive and highly personalized.

For questions, email Kayla Peters, Outreach & Event Coordinator, at kpeters@kensingtonsl.com.
