Welcome to Kensington Health Centre

Welcome to the Kensington Health Centre, a not-for-profit health care organization focusing on health and wellness services for seniors and people of all ages. Here you will find a wide range of information outlining our many exciting health care services, including the 350 bed Kensington Gardens long-term care centre.

You'll also find a full list of our seniors' services, career opportunities, fundraising plans, as well as an overview of our
unique philosophy of long-term care.

It all begins with the focus we place on providing true care, rather than the notion of treatment, or therapy found in traditional nursing homes built on the medical model. As a result, we are able to offer our clients the freedom and independence they need to thrive, and build an extraordinary quality of life.

Kensington Gardens has received a three year accreditation award from the Canadian Council on Health Services Accreditation (www.cchsa.ca). The independent, peer review survey was completed in January 2008 and indicates that the home meets or exceeds the highest national standards in care and services in Long Term Care, and strives to continuously improve. Our accreditation certificate is proudly displayed in our facility.

Come, explore the new Kensington Health Centre. We look forward to showing you a fresh new approach to long-term care.

Please contact your local Community Care Access Centre or the Toronto Community Care Access Centre at (416) 506-9888/ (416) 217-3820 for admission information.
