A place where couples stay connected
At The Kensington Bethesda, we understand that the bond of couples is one of the most important aspects of their well-being.
We offer an environment where partners can remain together regardless of differing care needs. We address their needs as individuals while honoring their shared life.
Physical and emotional closeness
When one partner requires assisted living and the other memory care, for example, or when one spouse’s needs are more complex than the other’s— we provide solutions that allow them to remain physically close while receiving individualized support.
Our goal is to ensure couples continue sharing experiences and creating new memories. We understand that transitioning to a care community can be stressful for loved ones.
By keeping couples together, we help minimize the transition’s stress and ensure comfort and safety.
Maintaining shared moments
Even with different levels of care, couples can still enjoy meaningful time together, engaging in activities, sharing meals, and maintaining the companionship that enriches their relationship.
Our team is prepared to address couples’ physical care needs while maintaining the emotional well-being provided by their shared bond.

Customized care for each spouse or partner
At The Kensington Bethesda, we understand that every individual’s care needs are unique.
That’s why we offer customized care plans tailored to each resident, ensuring couples can remain together even when their requirements differ.

Memory Care
Our memory care neighborhoods are specifically designed for residents with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. Our care team’s ongoing training and expertise allow them to support various levels of care for couples while helping them maintain their connection.
We understand that memory care requires a specialized approach, so we offer three levels of care based on the progression of memory loss: early, middle, and late stages.
- The Kensington Club: This program is designed for residents in the early stages of memory loss. The K Club provides enriching activities focusing on cognitive engagement, social interaction, and independence.
- Connections: The Connections neighborhood offers higher support for residents with early to middle stage memory loss. Connections focuses on structured routines and activities that promote emotional well-being and cognitive stimulation.
- Haven: For those in more advanced stages of dementia, the Haven neighborhood provides comprehensive care designed to enhance comfort and dignity. We offer sensory-based activities, skilled nursing care and a secure environment.
With these customized programs, couples can continue to live side by side, knowing each partner receives the specific care they need, tailored to their condition.
Support for couples and their families: Education & Resources
The Kensington Bethesda provides a support system for our residents and their families.
We understand that navigating the complexities of care can be overwhelming, especially when both partners have different needs. Residents and families can access education sessions and resources to help them understand their loved one’s condition, including dementia care and the aging process.
Our team is always available to guide families through their care options, ensuring they feel supported every step of the way.
