The Kenwood

After tearing my Achilles, early recovery at home was impossible due to stairs beyond my ability to hop. I found welcome respite at The Kenwood - accessible, comfortable, and quite enjoyable! The community of residents is delightful. The staff are kind and engaging. And the meals were surprisingly tasty and always interesting. I highly recommend The Kenwood for its community, engaging activities - whether for short term or longer term living.

When our mom first moved to the Kenwood she wasn't sure she would stay but was giving it a try. Within 6 months, she was an active member of the Kenwood community, involved in many different discussion and activity groups. She stayed for 13 years, and couldn't imagine moving anywhere else. She had a personal relationship with her weekly housekeeper, as she later did with the kind aides who came in to help her out through her final failing months before she passed. Mom participated in the gardening group and loved eating out on the terrace in summer. She enjoyed having a meal with friends in the dining room. She started a scrabble group that ran for years, and participated regularly in the current events discussion group. Until she was apartment-bound, she used the exercise room. The Kenwood has so much available. We also cannot thank Jenny and the Kenwood staff enough. During the early stages of the pandemic, they kept COVID safely out of the building until the vaccines arrived. And during Mom's final illness, Jenny and Karen and Andrea and Alex and Connie were constant supports to our family, helping in ways that simply aren't part of any rental contract.

The Kenwood is located in a beautiful neighborhood in Minneapolis. The management staff is very knowledgeable, and exceptionally kind. The staff are engaging, pleasant and genuinely care for the residents who live there. The facility is well maintained, clean and has always felt very safe. We would highly recommend The Kenwood.

I posted a review about a year ago extolling the virtues of The Kenwood and how happy my mother was there. At that time, she had been living at The Kenwood for a few months. Now, a year later, we are just as pleased. I say "we" because having her so happy and well cared for not only makes me happy, it also means I don't need to worry. I highly recommend The Kenwood. While my mother uses a wheelchair and needs a certain level of assistance, I see residents of all levels of independence, and everyone seems to be happy and enjoying life.

If you are looking for an assisted living facility for yourself or loved one you have found it. The Kenwood is really an amazing place. Staff are absolutely fabulous, all of them! The building is very nice, interesting activities and the most impressive thing is that everyone I’ve talked to that lives at The Kenwood loves it, I mean they really love it. You can feel the upbeat positive vibe throughout the facility. The Kenwood should be a blueprint on how to do Assisted Living right. Kudos to everyone there for having such a great place! So thankful!
