The Kenwood

The personnel at The Kenwood were incredibly gracious, attentive, answered our questions directly, and if they didn't have the information, they went and got the information. They were absolutely superb in terms of the way they dealt with us. My mother was in crisis at the time. She was especially vulnerable to irritation and upset, and they were incredibly sophisticated in terms of how they handled her; they did a very good job. She is renting a one-bedroom with a full bathroom, a living room, and a small kitchen. It is arranged in a very convenient manner and feels very spacious because of the large windows. It also has a wonderful view of the city. They have a dining room and the food is excellent. There are lots of activities for seniors.

The Kenwood is very nice. It's a very good place. There's a lot of activities. Food is good. It's a menu-type of services. The staff is excellent too.

The Kenwood was a wonderful, comfortable place with a very nice atmosphere. I got to go see one of the apartments and met four residents. They were off-chance meetings that were not scheduled; I just ran into them. The lady, Karen, introduced me to people who talked to me for a minute, and everybody said that they were really happy and comfortable there. The rates were very reasonable compared to everybody else, and the location was great. You couldn’t ask for a better location especially if you are used to being around in the city and having access to things. I was incredibly impressed with it. They have different packages at different prices for what they do for them and assisted living. If you need some short-term care or occasional help with stuff, you can purchase services as needed. It was very nice, and they had a lot of options for you to choose from.

My in-laws chose The Kenwood, and it’s a wonderful place. It's clean, bright, and cheerful. He chose this one because it's in closer proximity to their church and its closeness to downtown Minneapolis. They do have different activities for the residents. I am really impressed, and I feel that it's a very well-run facility.

The health aides and the nursing staff at The Kenwood are absolutely wonderful and quite responsive. The concierge knows their stuff that when you call, they know where to send you and you get someone on the phone. The apartments are great; the food is very good and the service is great. They do have 4 apartments that are end-of-life hospice. They do everything at the apartment that you are currently living in which is just wonderful.

It seemed like everybody there really cared for the residents of community. My friend's grandma got a lot of attention while we were there visiting her. They hold a lot of events to keep that promote community gathering for her and the other residents. She offered me her sandwich. I didn't want to eat it because I was expecting itto be really gross. Of course she forced me to eat it, I ate it, and it was really good! It tasted like something you could get from a sub restaurant. I always hear negative stereotypes about these sort of services but I didn't get that impression at all from this retirement community. They kept the community facilities clean. There is a fitness area for the people who live there that my friend's grandma uses quite regularly. I think a location like this is really necessary for somebody in their elder years, where they get taken care of with good nutrition and sufficient attention. It allows the people living there to feel at peace with them and the people they're living with.
