About The Kensington at Fort Madison

First built in 1912, Sacred Heart Hospital quickly became an important member of the Fort Madison community; a place families counted on for service and caring. Today, that spirit of community service has been preserved as The Kensington, a proud landmark in southeast Iowa.

I visited this facility

My mom will move into The Kensington - Fort Madison. Upon arrival, we met with Kaylin, the marketing director. She's very upbeat and very personal. She gave us a tour of Kensington, like what room mom would be in. She gave us a dining room tour and showed us all the activities they do throughout the day. We met with Kelly. She's another one who gave us another tour on what was going on throughout the day and what they do. Mom felt very at ease walking around the place. It's a one-room apartment, bigg…

I visited this facility

The visit to The Kensington - Fort Madison was phenomenal. The staff was really nice. Our contact there was very helpful. We've talked to a few of the people that were on the memory care floor. They showed us one of the rooms that they have there for my dad. We went through the different services there. They have a really nice walkout deck there on the second floor, so you can get some fresh air, and it's secure. Everybody on the staff was phenomenal, from the nurses to the cleaning ladies, all the staff …

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

The staff at The Kensington-Fort Madison is caring. They also have nice community activities for the seniors. Just that, my dads diabetic and they don't cater to a full diabetic diet. Also, the staff is changing, but I think they did a great job with COVID, in keeping the residents safe. They do rides, some exercise classes, craft activities, and bingo. They have a hair salon, a library, and a community room, too.
