About the facility
The Kensington Senior Living at Fort Madison

First built in 1912, Sacred Heart Hospital quickly became an important member of the Fort Madison community; a place families counted on for service and caring. Today, that spirit of community service has been preserved as The Kensington, a proud landmark in southeast Iowa.

Centrally located in Fort Madison, The Kensington is just minutes away from shopping, libraries, medical services, banks and restaurants.

New families are welcomed with a special dinner and introduced to the Heart to Heart program and Family Traditions calendar. These and other family services provide fellowship and support, as well as special occasions for loved ones to enjoy good times together.

The Kensington also offers Primrose Path, a secure, state-of-the-art memory care neighborhood, specially designed to accommodate those with Alzheimer's and other progressive dementia.

Recognized in U.S. News & World Report's 2026 for Best Memory Care.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know Iowa’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about Iowa’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

A Place for Mom has scored The Kensington Senior Living at Fort Madison 7 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.   We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.   Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
