When your loved one needs help fast, time isn’t on your side. Maybe they’ve just been discharged from the hospital. Maybe their memory has suddenly declined. Or maybe caregiving at home is no longer safe, or sustainable.
In these moments, families often wonder: How fast can we get help?
At The Kensington Redondo Beach, the answer is: often within one week.
Whether your family is facing a crisis or preparing for a fast transition, our team specializes in urgent senior care placement that balances speed with compassion. We move quickly, without ever rushing the care.
Why Urgent Senior Care Placement Happens
We frequently support families facing scenarios like:
- Sudden cognitive or behavioral decline
- Discharge from a hospital or rehab with no safe home plan
- Wandering or medication errors
- Burnout or unavailability of a primary caregiver
- A fall or medical event at home
While no one wants to make decisions under stress, it’s not uncommon, and it’s okay. We’re here to help you through it.
Yes, You Can Move In Within a Week
With proper documentation and suite availability, we can complete a move-in in as little as 3–7 days.
Our experienced admissions team is trained to support urgent transitions, guiding families through each step with clarity, coordination, and genuine care.

What Makes The Kensington Redondo Beach Ideal for Fast Transitions?
On-Site Licensed Nurses 24/7
Our around-the-clock nursing team ensures safe medication management, wound care, and support for chronic conditions from the start.
Specialized Memory Care
The Kensington Club is our unique early-stage memory care program for new and current assisted living residents experiencing mild changes in cognition. Our Connections neighborhood supports early-to-mid stage dementia, while Haven is designed for those with more advanced cognitive decline. We guide placement based on both clinical and emotional needs.
Supportive Dining & Wellness Programs
Our dining services focus on nutritious, brain-healthy meals that are customized for dietary preferences, texture needs, and hydration goals.
Engaging Life Enrichment from Day One
We introduce new residents to life enrichment activities that bring comfort, familiarity, and joy, including art, music, pet therapy, and gentle exercise.
What to Bring for an Urgent Move-In
Even in a fast placement, preparation helps ease the transition.
We suggest gathering:
- Primary physician notes and diagnoses
- Current medication list with dosage and frequency
- Legal decision-making documents (POA, advance directive)
- Emergency contacts
- A few personal items that bring comfort, family photos, favorite clothing, or a cherished blanket
If you’re short on time, our team will help organize what’s needed and communicate with healthcare providers directly.
Don’t Wait, Delays Can Lead to Emergencies
Waiting too long, especially after a hospital discharge or sudden decline, can lead to:
- Rehospitalization
- Falls or injury
- Caregiver burnout
- Rapid cognitive or emotional deterioration
