The problem is while they have hundreds of rooms for assisted living, they only had 14 for memory care. It was just luck that while my wife was in the hospital that we put a deposit for a room when it would be available. A room was available the day my wife had to leave the hospital under Hospice care. They came to the hospital and evaluated her. As being able to walk and feed herself, that qualified her for admittance. That window of self help was very short, maybe only a few weeks. It cost a little extra to have someone feed her in their dining room but it was worth the extra expense. My wife died after 2 months while there as she declined very quickly due to the Alzheimer's.

Canterfield of Kennesaw

Canterfield of Kennesaw is proud to be the first and only senior living community in Kennesaw Georgia, with an established, supportive community for residents that require independent living, assisted living, and memory care services. We believe in cultivating a truly exceptional way of life that allows residents the dignity to design each day to their greatest desire. Our natural landscape is emboldened by rich, green landscaping, and a peaceful courtyard that provides residents and guests the opportunity to embrace the outdoors. Our concept for senior living was developed in the 1980’s by Winston Porter, whose social model of senior living was “to be cared for in a carefree environment.” Our community is designed in a hotel-like fashion that always feels like home and complements the dignity, safety, and quality of life to all residents. Contact an advisor at A Place for Mom, and let us know how we can care for you!

Good value

We chose this facility mainly due to the price and the people. They actually have two mobile vans that they take the residence on trips, one is for the independent living, and one is for the assisted living, but the assisted-living band is broken, and has been for months, I don't know what their plans are, but it doesn't sound like you're getting another one. Everything else is excellent except for the food which is sub par.

Comfortable and safe

Three things I like most about the community - 1. The three nutritious meals daily. I felt that my MIL was not eating enough or that regularly. 2. The attendants that visit in her apartment three times a day to check on her. It's good to know she has someone seeing her that often in the event that she has deteriorated physically or mentally. 3. These fact that if she falls, she can get the appropriate level of help quickly.

Great place to live!

From the moment I walked into this place I could tell that it was well maintained very friendly people both residents and staff. The rooms are spacious even in the one bedroom which is what I signed up for. Plenty of windows to let in the light so it’s nice and bright and cheerful! The food is good there are lots and lots of activities if you want to participate. A good place to spend your golden years!

I’ve generally had a good experience here, but I feel misplaced.

I have not lost my mind like the rest of the residents. I’ve not had good luck with weekend coverage. The coverage has been good during the week. I hesitate to say more because of the identification requirements.

Canterfield of Kennesaw

Very nice accommodations. Amenities are nice.It would be nice if the bottom kitchen cupboards would have pull out shelves or drawers. Very few 85 year olds are inclined to get on their hands and knees to retrieve items. So unused kitchen space. It appears that Canterfield is saving dollars on food served in the dining room. Attention should be given to preparing healthy food for residents. More fruit, vegetables and Mediterranean diet options should be provided for the health of residents. Same menu for a week is boring and unappetizing.

Canterfield of Kennesaw is the best

We looked at 5 to 6 extended care facilities and Canterfield of Kennesaw stood out from the rest at our first visit. Now that mom has been here for several months, she is just loving it. She has made new friends and enjoys the many activities that are available. The staff is awesome and is very attentive to mom's needs. We couldn't be happier. Highly recommend Canterfield of Kennesaw.

Feels like a resort!

The staff is extremely friendly, and very competent! The activities are wonderful, the food is great. They deliver the medicine on time. The hair salon is great also. Movie night every night is something my mom absolutely loves.! they go to the grocery store, Walmart, restaurants, etc. My mom calls it her resort.

My Experience at Canterfield

The overall experience has been very good and the community is very clean. The staff very friendly and attentive. I'm in independent living. However we're having a COVID epidemic. Staff set testing station and have those positive isolated. Dining hall closed . All residents are served in their rooms. Breakfast and light meal in evening. Give staff a 5 for organizing the COVID response. Excellent meals with a variety on the menu new menu every week.

Super staff. They're all so kind and are supportive of all Canterfield residents. Mom loves all the planned activities and she stays busy! I've enjoyed dining with mom there on several occasions and the food is remarkably very good. Highly recommend.

Review for Canterfield of Kennesaw

I'm not a joiner so haven't availed myself of the many activities, but with the ones I have the people have been very friendly. There are activities for everyone here. The Activities Director is outstanding. I chose Canterfield because I had a friend in the industry who told me that the family who owns these places goes for the absolute best. I can tell by the quality and design of my bathrooms and the architecture of my apartment. They also offered some rent reduction for the first year.

Great care, communications, and community!

We moved my mom in October 2022 and have been so pleased with everything at Canterfield of Kennesaw. The food is delicious. The activities are varied, fun, and always offering opportunities to go/do/engage. The care team is fantastic - always helping us learn, and keeping us updated regularly. The network of medical teams that come to Canterfield and the close proximity to other medical offices and hospitals is great. As I've come to learn, the value for the money is also outstanding. Above all else, I take great comfort knowing my mom is safe, happy, engaged, and enjoying her assisted living community.

Earthbound Angels ??

The morning mom woke up and came downstairs and told me she had been praying and wanted to move to Canterfield of Kennesaw was an unexpected surprise. After being her person for so long I was happy she had made this decision for herself but also felt like “who’s going to take care of mom like I will?”. Well let me tell you about the earthbound angels at Canterfield …. they take care of my mom with patience, grace, compassion and love. They love on her, they see to her needs, she’s been sick and they nurture her, the food is great, the entertainment is often and wonderful, they do field trips, have movies every night, maintenance, laundry, and housekeeping staff are super, and the management staff has guided me every step of the way. If you or your loved one is looking at options I 100% encourage you to check out Canterfield, you won’t be sorry.
