One major shortcoming!

A lot of the program here is fine. The meals and Bingo games but they are dismal in taking care of the internet which is severely overloaded. I am only able to access the internet sporadically on my laptop. I am having to purchase an outside WiFi service for $[fee removed] per month.

Review for Kennedy Meadows Gracious Retirement Living

My friend moved in to Kennedy Meadows about one month ago. The only complaint that she has so far, is the quality of the food. She tells me that all the people that she has met there, all share the same complaint regarding the food. Please share my complaint with Kennedy Meadows.

Great retirement community!

Great value -not an assisted living facility but it's perfect for my dad's needs. He feels safe and it's one of the few facilities with outdoor access from the units. It's clean and we could not be happier

Wonderful Facility

1. Overall experience was good. 2. Cleanliness was impeccable 3. Manager staff not so friendly. There was an issue with my sister's husband's incontinence. I warned the staff initially that he was incontinent. We were told no problem but it was and understandably so. I was and am their proxy. When I called the managers to ask why and when my sister had to move the manager ( male) was belligerent and bellicose with me. I simply was asking a question. They were moved to Sunrise of Burlington which was by far a better place for them because they needed higher level of care. 4. The quality of care was excellent if a higher level than personal care is not needed. I am not sure about value or food. I hope that the managerial staff is nicer to family members than they were to me. No hard feelings, I worked in health care for 50 years I understand resident needs. There is however no excuse for rudeness.

Kenney Meadows Gracious Retirement Living review

The evening meals are a 1 and the value for cost is just overpriced. However, Kennedy Meadows is like family! They have a difficult time keeping go help. Money and hours are the problem...hey do not pay people more than 30 hours a week to avoid paying benefits. Would not recommend

Definitely recommended

I would definitely recommend Kennedy Meadows, but with the knowledge of it being an independent facility. The staff is friendly, helpful and listens to problems that may arise. Housekeeping is pretty good. I love the person assigned to my unit. Move in was fine and there was help for me mounting a TV and installing the cable equipment, as well as help putting up pictures. Meals are a person's l like or dislike. There are several choices at each meal. Some are better than others, but we do give input to the chef at monthly meetings.

Happy with my experience

I will say I am happy here. The staff is friendly and helpful. The residents were very welcoming and I felt like it was home for me faster than I expected. There are many types of activities to choose from, trips to different places weekly, live entertainment and celebrations. The management staff is on-site to talk with when problems arise. Our activities director plans the activities and will listen to our ideas for new interests.

Kennedy Meadows Review

Very nice place, lots of cool amenities, but the population is older than expected. The environment is not vibrant with activities, still seems a bit sterile. The grounds are beautifully kept. The male manager can be condescending to staff and at times residents, others very friendly. The biggest complaint has been the food. The sense of community is not really there. Someone proactive and into organizing things could probably help that.

Highly recommended

What really sticks out to us about Kennedy Meadows is the availability of the staff members and the fact that they will treat your loved one like it is their own family. The apartment sizes here are very large compared to the others that we checked out. I would absolutely recommend Kennedy Meadows to those looking for independent living.

Comfortable, Safe, And Beautiful Place to Live

It is a good community and my loved ones are enjoying it here. The community provides housekeeping for the residents rooms. The dining room is nice and beautiful. It reminds you of a dining room you would find on a cruise ship. The staff are wonderful to work with.

Our experience so far

They are understaffed and food has been a problem. There are not all the choices that they say that there are. I do not see them doing a whole lot to make up for that in ways that I think that they could. The facility itself is absolutely beautiful, especially the grounds and most of the time the staff is excellent. Overall I would recommend them to others looking, they just need to make some improvements.

Accomoda

Mom is fitting right in and everything has been great. The value for what we are getting is wonderful. We were weary because she is starting to show signs of dementia but the staff have all been super accommodating and helpful. I would absolutely recommend Kennedy Meadows to others.
