At The Kensington Sierra Madre, dementia care isn’t just a service, but a deeply personal experience.
Every day in our Connections and Haven neighborhoods is designed to support comfort, familiarity, and purpose, meeting residents exactly where they are on their memory loss journey.
From morning rituals to evening relaxation, each moment is crafted with compassion, clinical expertise, and a touch of luxury, so residents feel not only cared for but truly at home.
Two Memory Care Neighborhoods, One Philosophy
Connections and Haven provide care tailored to different stages of memory loss, while sharing a unified mission: to preserve dignity, foster connection, and ensure daily life is meaningful.
- Connections supports those in the early to middle stages of dementia, offering structure, engagement, and gentle reminders in a secure yet vibrant setting.
- Haven is for residents with mid-to-late stages of dementia. Care focuses on comfort, sensory stimulation, and nonverbal connection in a peaceful environment.
Together, these memory care neighborhoods reflect our belief that every stage of memory loss deserves dignity and their quality of life be maintained.
Morning: A Gentle, Personalized Start
Each resident begins their day at their own pace. Soft lighting, familiar music, and calming routines support orientation and ease.
In Connections, the morning may include a favorite tea blend, warm conversation, and a care partner assisting with dressing in a way that preserves independence and confidence.
In Haven, sensory-focused mornings might begin with lavender aromatherapy, hand massages, or soft classical music to help reduce anxiety and support emotional regulation.
Our environments are designed with residents in mind, including motion-sensing lights, clearly labeled spaces, and adaptive bathroom features to support both autonomy and safety.
Midmorning: Purposeful Moments
As the morning unfolds, residents engage in activities tailored to their abilities and interests.
In Connections, that day’s activities may include music, light stretching, and group interaction, boosting mood and memory.
In Haven, residents may have a stroll through our sensory garden, or a visit from a therapy dog encourages engagement through touch, scent, and movement.
These activities:
- Activate cognitive pathways
- Reduce feelings of isolation
- Support emotional expression
- Reinforce a sense of identity
Every program is grounded in best practices for dementia care, while allowing room for joy and spontaneity.
Midday: Dining as an Experience
Mealtimes are about more than nourishment, they’re moments of community and comfort.
Residents gather in thoughtfully arranged dining spaces, where place settings are designed to support visual clarity and ease of use.
Meals are served fresh, with options that accommodate dietary needs and preferences.
- In Connections, residents may select from seasonal entrees and dine with peers and team members in a warm, social atmosphere.
- In Haven, meals are adapted to individual needs, from finger foods to pureed textures, ensuring dignity at every stage.
Our team offers supportive dining cues, hand-over-hand assistance when needed, and warm hospitality that makes every table feel like home.

Afternoon: Creativity and Connection
After lunch is filled with fun options, including:
- Creative activities
- Music therapy
- Art workshops, puzzles, or scenic strolls
Our goal is to offer opportunities that accommodate each resident’s abilities and preferences.
In Haven, even residents with limited verbal skills can find comfort through music or multisensory play. In Connections, storytelling sparks laughter and shared memories.
Evening: Soothing Rituals and Rest
As daylight softens, our team shifts into routines that calm and comfort. Evening programming is designed to ease symptoms of sundowning, offering:
- Aromatherapy and warm towels
- Dimmed lighting and soft acoustic music
- Bedtime reading or photo albums
- Calming videos of nature or familiar settings
Each resident’s nighttime routine is respected, helping them transition to rest feeling secure and supported.
