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.

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.

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 Kenw

Kenwood is a clean, friendly, quiet and seemingly happy place to be with great views of downtown. I encountered many staff who were friendly and engaging in the common areas, kitchen, and hallways. Tenants were out and about and the staff seemed to know them well and everyone just seemed happy to be there, both working and living.

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.
