Filthy and dirty place
I was a resident for 8 years. I moved in in [date removed]. It was a very nice community for the first 2 or 3 years but year after year it. slowly started going downhill with new management. I became embarrassed to have relatives or friends come in to see this dump I was living in. Backed up sinks, hallway ceiling tiles removed and buckets hanging from pipes to catch water leaks and then left like that for months at a time. Very slow in fixing issues that residents have in their apartments. Holes put in hallways to get to pipes that are leaking and then left without fixing them for months at a time. Dirty, dirty furniture in common areas and filthy, stained and nasty looking carpet in all the hallways. Icing on the cake for me to move was the ongoing bedbug problem they started having throughout the building.You’d be better off living in a tent than in this place! STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS COMMUNITY!!!

NOT WORTH CHECKING OUT!
I've been a resident for over 5 years. When I moved to this location, I was impressed with the offerings. We enjoyed banking, health center, shopping, great activities, entertainment, cleanliness, etc.. now even taking into account the pandemic, we have none of the above. And management is incompetent.

Every accommodation to make residents feel welcomed was appreciated by my Mom upon her move.

A tour for care
I toured this community for my mother's care. The staff was wonderful and I liked that they did follow up with me on my mom's needs. The community was nice and very clean. It was a nice size community with a good atmosphere. They had a list of activities that would have been good for my mom. I would recommend this community to other families for the care of a loved one.

This community is awesome.
The staff have been very friendly. They do not offer meals at this independent community. They have a lot of things to do during the day. They have a workout room, a store, a bank and large dining room where they offer other activities. The community is kept clean and well maintained. I like all the amenities they offer and I would recommend this community.

Now that was funny!
This place is wonderful and my loved one could not ask for better people. Even though this is not an assisted living the staff makes sure that the residents get to go out and have fun. For the peoples birthday they have a comedian that comes in. The meals are good because they can order out and have whatever they want. I would definitely recommend them.

A welcomed and needed service
We moved my brother from Chicago to Waukesha, WI. for health reasons. I was at a loss as to where to start to find a place for him. When A Place for Mom came to my rescue. They listened to our needs and before we knew it, they found the perfect place at Berkshire Kensington. They were very helpful and caring as well as efficient.

Living at The Berkshire
After touring several senior facilities, I chose to live at The Berkshire at Kensington in Waukesha Wi. I am new to Wisconsin, so I didn't know where to start looking. I contacted "A Place For Mom" and they gave me several listings in the Waukesha area. I visited six different locations and they were all nice in their own way, but I chose The Berkshire because it gave me the most for my money. I have been here for six weeks and I am very happy I came here. I have a lovely apartment, and there are many activities for anyone who wishes to partake. The people are friendly and the staff is always there for us. Overall, I'm glad I chose to live here.
