As the premier senior living provider in White Plains for the past 13 wonderful years, we know first-hand that caring for an aging loved one is both a profound act of love and an immense responsibility.
We are committed to improving the quality of life not only for aging loved ones, but for family caregivers, too.
In the spirit of that commitment, we are proud to bring you an exclusive documentary screening of “Taking Care,” from Hilarity for Charity (HFC) founders and producers Seth Rogen and Lauren Miller Rogen, followed by a panel discussion featuring special guests Dan Miller, HFC Board chair; Sara Meyers, LLP, Eldercare Attorney, Enea, Scanlan & Sirignano; Meg Boyce, vice president, Alzheimer’s Association; andSusie Sarkisian, CPCC, Certified Life Coach.

The Kensington is proud to partner with the documentary’s presenters: Hilarity for Charity, PCH Films, BrightFocus Foundation, and AARP. We celebrate our longstanding relationship with HFC and are committed to its mission to care for families impacted by Alzheimer’s disease.
“Taking Care” is a 38-minute documentary following the journey of acclaimed filmmakers Seth Rogen and Lauren Miller Rogen as they navigate the complexities and heartbreak of Lauren’s mother’s advancing Alzheimer’s disease. Through humor, heart, and an unwavering commitment to change, “Taking Care” imparts a message of hope, resilience, and the profound impact individuals can have when they seek solutions to society’s greatest challenges.
It serves as a powerful reminder that even the smallest actions, when driven by compassion and purpose, can inspire transformative change.
We invite you to watch it with us and share in a thoughtful panel discussion with our special guests about navigating the dementia caregiving experience.
As caregivers ourselves, we deeply understand the caregiving journey. Witnessing a loved one’s declining health can be heart-wrenching, and the stress of making critical decisions about their care can feel overwhelming. Without adequate support, caregivers risk their health and their ability to provide the necessary care for their loved ones.
In addition to the financial strain that caregiving can impose, many caregivers struggle to maintain equilibrium in their lives. Caregiver burnout is no myth — it’s a prevalent and serious issue that more than 60 percent of caregivers experience. Symptoms of burnout include emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion; and many face depression because of caregiving responsibilities.
We recognize these struggles that family caregivers contend with daily, and we are always here to provide helpful information, resources and a loving, listening ear.
Our community offers best-in-class Enhanced Assisted Living, Parkinson’s Care, two specialized levels of Memory Care and Couples Care in the heart of White Plains. Every day, our dedicated team delivers more comprehensive care than what other assisted living providers offer.
While many caregivers hesitate to ask for assistance, it’s important to reach out to family, friends, or professional services — even small acts of support can make a significant difference. Our expert team provides compassionate support that gives you time to catch your breath and recharge so you can enjoy the pleasure of togetherness freely and without guilt.
Please join us for this heartfelt, supportive evening at The Kensington.
