The reviews for The Kensington in Fort Madison present a mixed picture. Many reviewers express high praise for the facility, highlighting the compassionate and caring nature of the staff. They describe the environment as welcoming and homely, with staff treating residents like family. Specific staff members, such as Cindy, Amanda, and Sarah, are frequently mentioned for their dedication and kindness. The facility is noted for its cleanliness, friendly atmosphere, and the quality of care provided, especially in the Primrose Path Memory Care unit. Residents and their families appreciate the community feel and the staff's efforts to include them in family-type events. However, there are also negative experiences shared. One reviewer recounts a troubling incident involving missing money from a resident's wallet, which was not handled to their satisfaction. They describe a lack of concern from the administration and a dismissive attitude from some staff members, leading to frustration and a sense of being unheard. The issue was eventually resolved with reimbursement, but the process was fraught with communication challenges and accusations of inappropriate behavior. Additionally, a former employee criticizes the work environment, particularly in the kitchen, citing poor treatment and inadequate pay. Despite these issues, the overall sentiment from many reviews remains positive, with numerous families expressing gratitude for the care and attention their loved ones receive at The Kensington.
