Who are you searching for?

If you’re considering moving your loved one into a Kensington nursing home, our senior living advisors can help.

So even the best nursing homes in Kensington, MD may not be right for seniors who don’t require round-the-clock care.

We can help you determine if a skilled nursing facility in Kensington or another care type is right for you. Browse 90 senior living options near you to see the variety available, or contact us to learn more about elderly homes in Kensington.

Forest Hills of DC in Washington, DC

My sister has lived at Forest Hills in the Health Care Center for a while. Before the pandemic, they had wonderful activities as well as great nursing care. In the pandemic they have done an incredible job to keep everyone safe, to figure out ways to have safe activities and/or virtual or safe visitation zones (following CDC guidelines). The staff is working under challenging circumstances and they continue to be kind, patient and deliver high quality care. We are so very grateful my sister can live in such a great facility.

I enjoy dining in our Fireside Dining Room, The Bistro and The Pub. The food is well prepared, presented in an attractive fashion, and is exceptional. The atmospheres of the venues are unique. I particularly enjoy the specials which are offered each night. The variety of the Seafood/Fish and Chef’s Special is remarkable. Overall, it is a pleasure to enjoy good food with good company.
