Assisted Living Reviews for The Kenwood by Senior Star

May 22, 2020

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

When we moved our parents here in 2018, food was acceptable if not a bit too salty. Wait staff was amateur, with a few folks that went out of their way to try to be more helpful. At some point over the last year or so, there was a change of Management. The food service on a good day is now essentially low grade cafeteria quality. Totally unacceptable, but uprooting parents once again could prove more disastrous. Not happy! Feels like a bait and switch. Regarding staff, some superlative, some just not up to any of the tasks... Odd!?!

Provider Response

The Kenwood by Senior Star was very nice, the residents seemed very happy, and the staff was very friendly, outgoing, and helpful. The rooms were very nice, spacious, and very clean. I would have no problems placing a relative or loved one in there. I got a very good impression of it mainly from the residents because they seemed very happy.

The Kenwood is a relatively new community. It is highly regarded. It is stunningly gorgeous and competitively priced. My mom seems overwhelmed because it is incredibly large, but her sister and the family are very excited about it. We like it a lot. My mom has memory issues, and we’ll move in next week. She’ll be in assisted living. We are going to continue with hospice nursing, but we will use their doctor on-call. I like this community a lot because it is literally stunningly. It sits way high up on a cliff. It is so pretty. It feels like you’re outdoors even though you can’t go outdoor.

I like Kenwood by Senior Star. It's a beautiful place. Their grounds are pretty, but limited. This is the place where I hoped to actually have my parents go. They have independent living as well as assisted living. I would say the rooms were very nice. The public facilities were beautiful. The food is fabulous. They have a wonderful restaurant, and it looks very nice. They have been extremely helpful in answering all my questions.

The Kendwood was very upscale. It had good quality, good food, and good activities. It was very nice and very well done, but it was also very costly. The one thing they could improve was if they could decrease the cost to make it more available. The rooms very clean. The staff was very attentive. They had a 28 meals a month plan. It was actually very excellent. It had a lot of good things about it; it was just a little over our price range.

The Kenwood by Senior Star was awesome. It was nice and big. It was also clean and fresh. It was a fairly new community. The dining room was very nice. They have a little bar area if you want to go there, and it was also nice. Overall, I wouldn't mind living there, but I just couldn't afford it.

A lady had picked us up and brought us to The Kenwood. She was a very nice and gave us a tour. My husband couldn't move fast so she gave us a wheelchair and I pushed him around in a wheelchair. She showed us everything and introduced us to the staff. All of them were very nice people. My husband liked the building. He liked the size of the units. He liked everything that they had. But it was also a place that only had maybe one or two meals a day. They had a sauna. They had pool activities and they had a bingo game going on when we were visiting. We liked everything except that it was high rise.

The Kenwood is one of the nicest senior buildings in the area. It's first class and it's really a nice place. The staff was really nice and they helped us move my parents from their house to the facility. It was a very nice and easy move so that was a big plus. We've eaten there numerous times and the dining room is excellent. The service is also nice. I think the food is great. I would definitely recommend this facility.

Kenwood was a place that seemed nice including the atmosphere and everything. The staff was helpful when I visited and I don't really remember the activities there. The rooms were alright.

The Kenwood is a highly luxurious assisted-living facility. It has the capability to serve all levels of care, from independent living to skilled nurses who work in the "memory care" unit specifically designed for those suffering from forms of dementia and Alzheimer's disease. The main building is a towering, multi-story complex that has a number of unique features all located on the grounds of the facility. There are a number of in-house restaurants for residents, a sports-bar like area for those living in the independent-living area, and a marketplace to buy basic necessities like toothbrushes and personal care products.The Kenwood is a seriously impressive place. I am very surprised at the level of luxury and always-on-call care that the facility provides. From Midas the Service Dog, to a personal chauffeur for the residents, to the in-house Chef who creates unique gourmet food daily, The Kenwood didn't feel like an assisted-living facility at all but more like a luxury resort. The staff was extremely courteous and attentive, the whole facility was incredibly clean, and overall I came out with a very positive opinion.

The Kenwood by Senior Star has a really nice layout and looks good externally. However, the residents complain because they have a big theater with lots of great events, but most residents can't go because it has a sloped floor. So people with walkers can't maneuver and they fall over. Other than that, everything else is beautiful. I didn't like the staff though. I made three appointments in total, because the first two times the administrator didn't show up and I had driven in from out of town. They have a nice, warm water therapy pool, which is wonderful. They also have an art room upstairs, which is really nice. They have music in an area off of the lobby, and it's really great. I ate there; the service was good and the food was delicious. I really liked the activities, but some were really impractical.

Kenwood was pretty nice, and they had a nice lounge area. They showed me a one bedroom, a two bedroom, and an exercise room.
