The Kensington Sierra Madre

Connected to Community

Located in the heart of historic downtown Sierra Madre, this 58,000 SF, two-story assisted living and memory care community is designed to feel both welcoming and rooted in its surroundings. Licensed as a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE) by the California Department of Social Services, the facility accommodates up to 96 residents while maintaining a residential scale that reflects the character of the neighborhood.

Designed for Care and Continuity

The 75-unit community is organized within an efficient H-shaped plan that supports clear circulation and a balance between shared and private spaces. Two distinct memory care neighborhoods address varying levels of need, while common areas for dining, living, and social interaction create a sense of familiarity and routine. Wellness-focused spaces, including fitness, physical therapy, and salon services, are integrated alongside administrative and support areas to ensure both comfort and operational efficiency.

A Shared Outdoor Experience

Gardens, patios, and courtyards are woven throughout the site, creating a network of outdoor spaces that support both quiet reflection and social connection. These areas are designed to feel open and inviting while maintaining security for residents. Positioned along a pedestrian-friendly street and shaped through extensive community input, the project reflects a thoughtful balance, providing a safe, supportive environment for residents while remaining deeply connected to the life of the city.
