When a crisis hits, whether it’s a sudden fall, a hospital discharge, or a caregiver emergency, families are often left asking: Can we move our loved one into senior care this week? At Kensington Park Senior Living, the answer is: yes, you can.
We understand that not every transition into senior living comes with months of planning. Life happens fast. Illnesses progress. Safety risks appear overnight.
That’s why we’ve built our admissions process to accommodate urgent senior care placement, offering families a pathway to move their loved one into a supportive, fully-staffed environment within as little as 24–72 hours.
Here’s how Kensington Park Senior Living makes it happen, and how we ensure every rapid placement still feels personal, comforting, and clinically sound.
When Is Urgent Placement Needed?
There are several scenarios when families may need to act quickly:
- A hospital discharge with no safe return home
- Wandering, aggression, or unsafe behaviors due to dementia
- Caregiver illness, burnout, or sudden absence
- A fall or injury that changes mobility or independence
- Rapid cognitive decline with confusion or disorientation
- Unsafe home environments (staircases, isolation, medication mismanagement)
In these situations, waiting weeks or even days could mean added risk. Urgent senior care placement is about preventing further harm while helping your loved one settle into the right environment with structure, support, and safety.
Sudden changes in a senior’s condition, such as disorientation, falls, or inability to perform daily tasks, require immediate action to prevent further decline.
Families should act promptly to ensure safety, stability, and proper care in supportive environments.
Step 1: Call Kensington Park Senior Living: Start the Conversation Immediately
At Kensington Park Senior Living, the urgent placement process begins with a single phone call.
Our community relations and clinical team will speak with you immediately, no voicemails or waiting periods, and begin gathering the essentials:
- Your loved one’s medical condition and cognitive status
- Current living situation and level of risk
- Any recent hospital stays or changes in behavior
- Current physician or care agency contact information
- Legal documents like Power of Attorney (POA) or advance directives
From that first call, we’re not just assessing, we’re already coordinating.

Step 2: Rapid Clinical Assessment Within Hours
Our onsite clinical team can perform a needs assessment the same day or the next day in most situations.
If your loved one is currently in the hospital or receiving home care, we can coordinate directly with discharge planners, primary care physicians, or home health providers to quickly gather the medical documentation needed for admission.
In urgent cases, we focus on key care needs:
- Mobility support or fall risk
- Medication management
- Memory care level (Connections or Haven neighborhood)
- Behavioral health concerns
- Nutrition, toileting, and daily living tasks
Our promise is to provide care that’s not only fast, but also thorough and personalized, even under time-sensitive conditions.
Step 3: Tour (If You Can) Or Let Us Bring Kensington Park Senior Living to You
We welcome in-person or virtual tours at your earliest availability. If your loved one is already in the hospital or another care setting, we can provide:
- Same-day or next-day virtual walk-throughs
- Photos and videos of available suites
- Immediate access to floor plans and pricing
- A conversation with our leadership team
Do you need to decide without physically visiting? Many families do. We’ll guide you through each step with transparency so you can make a confident choice from wherever you are.
Step 4: Paperwork and Move-In Preparation
Once you choose Kensington Park Senior Living, we get right to work preparing for move-in. We offer:
- Electronic admission paperwork (completed remotely if needed)
- Coordination with hospital discharge teams or home health
- Suite preparation and personalization
- Pharmacy, medication, and nutrition coordination
- Welcome kits and essentials for your loved one’s comfort
For memory care placements, we ensure the move is sensitive to routine changes and emotional well-being.
Our Kensington Club, Haven, and Connections teams are trained to provide compassionate orientation and support in the first 72 hours.
Step 5: Move-In Within a Week (Or Less)
Most urgent senior care placements at Kensington Park Senior Living happen within 3–5 days of initial contact.
In some emergency situations, we’ve supported safe move-ins within 24–48 hours, depending on suite availability and documentation.
We are here when:
- You’re discharged from the hospital and need a safe next step
- Your in-home caregiver quits or becomes unavailable
- Your loved one begins wandering or refusing care
- You’re exhausted and out of options
Whatever your situation, we meet it with compassion, experience, and readiness.
