More About The Kensington
Nestled in the Allegheny Mountains, near the source of the Potomac River and one of General George Washington’s encampment sites, The Kensington stands as proud testament to Cumberland’s storied past.
When it opened in 1926, the Algonquin Hotel was well known for its elegance and hospitality. Now on the National Register of Historic Places, it’s just as accommodating as The Kensington — a beautiful home for seniors since 1989.
Serving our families today
The Kensington is an integral part of the community, participating in all the annual parades and celebrations. It’s close to shopping and banks, medical services, restaurants and the library.
The building’s high-vaulted ceilings, marble floors, plush carpets and comfortable furniture create a welcoming entry. An adjacent lounge offers a scenic view of Wills Creek and historic downtown Cumberland. The family room has complete kitchen Cumb_CalSep19-228hfacilities for entertaining, as well as a large-screen TV.
New families are welcomed with a special dinner and invited to participate in the Heart to Heart program.
