Kennedy Health Care Center

I cannot say enough positive things about this nursing facility. I would refer Kennedy to anyone. The administration is professional, competant and caring. Sure, there will always be things are not perfect and that is just the nature of nursing homes. Until your loved one lives in a truly "bad" nursing home, you cannot understand just how superior this facility really is.

At Kennedy Health Care Center, everyone treated me very nicely. I was introduced to everybody. They showed me around the facility. They treated me very well. The rooms seemed very nice. They seemed up-to-date, and there were plenty of room and light. I just liked what I saw. They have just finished remodeling the dining room, and everything looked very nice. Regarding activities, there were a couple of nice game rooms. I've talked to a few people, and there were no complaints. Overall, everything was new and clean. Everyone seemed to be upbeat and in tune with what was going on.

My friend stayed at Kennedy Health Care Center for about 20 days. The staff overall was pretty nice. It was clean, but you could smell feces when you walk through. They could use spray, and they didn't. I kept bringing in containers of air freshener for him.

My father was at Kennedy Health System. They were horrible. It was chosen because it was attached to the hospital that my father was being treated at. Actually, I thought it was a very nice place. The people were nice, but they didn't get the importance of infection control. Also they didn't understand his dementia and his basic nursing needs. The nurse's aides care was horrendous. There were dirty clothes thrown on the floor. There were soiled diapers and wash clothes on the chair that guests sit in. With regards to accommodation, at that time, my father was in semi-private. They weren't connected. They were separated by a door but they shared a bathroom. The room was adequate. It was a very nice room with big screen TV. It was set up very nice. Food was horrible. With regards to activities, they didn't have many that I knew of other than him going to PT. He was only there a week.
