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.

Matthew McKeon, M.S. CCC-SLP, is a Speech Language Pathologist who has been providing comprehensive speech therapy to individuals with voice, speech, and swallowing disorders for more than 15 years. He has a Masters in Health Science in Speech Language Pathology from Duquesne University.

As specialists in all aspects of care for both Assisted Living and Memory Care, we offer services and programs that are thoughtfully designed, clinically comprehensive and highly personalized. We improve the quality of life for our residents to the greatest extent possible. We’re standing by, eager to listen and ready to help.

On-Site Monthly Gathering for Caregivers

YOU, as a caregiver, matter to us as much as our residents do. We understand that care giving for someone can, at times, be a demanding commitment. We also believe it is one you should not undertake alone. That’s why we strive to preserve your well-being by helping you stay positive, manage fatigue and make the most of time spent with your loved one.

Let The Kensington Falls be your trusted resource for information and the comforting ally you need. Join us on the last Wednesday of each month to share time connecting with other caregivers and discussing common challenges in a welcoming, private setting.

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