Kensington Court
18 McMahon Street, Stoke, Nelson 7011Alden Kensington Court has been well established in the community for over 20 years. In the heart of Stoke, we are privileged to cater for the honest, hardworking generation that came before us.
Available levels of care
I joined this home as a Village Administrator after many years in education, and then in 2023, I stepped into the Facility Manager role with confidence.
I’m supported by my partner of 20 years and our four children, aged 4 to 15. While life can be hectic, we love spending time together, sharing plenty of laughter. There’s never a dull moment, and I wouldn’t change a thing!
I didn’t find aged care as much as aged care found me. I discovered my passion when I started working at Kensington Court, I am in my happy place here with care for our residents at front and centre of all we do.

Our residents enjoy a well managed and ever changing activities programme which provides companionship and lots of fun. Residents also have access to a hairdresser, podiatrist and physiotherapist who visit regularly.
We strive to make walking in the door at Kensington Court a positive experience, especially for those who may be more reluctant about the idea of coming to a rest home.
At some stage in our lives we may require more assistance in our day to day living. Our wealth of experience in other stages of care means our team can advise you on your options and how it works. We are here to help and assure you through the stages.
