The way things should be done.

The Kenwood staff and their commitment to their residents' needs is remarkable, and it has made a real difference in my [age removed] mother's life. I could not be more impressed or grateful.

Review for The Kenwood

Everything is excellent, the staff is great. I was first in an apartment on the 14th floor. There are 2 floors that allow small dogs, and there was a dog barking way too much. I complained and it took awhile but they moved me to 12th floor. It's quiet! I'm very happy now!

My family's experience

I love the kenwood. The staff are flexible and helpful and really stay in touch with what's happening in the community. I also LOVE that the dining room includes breakfast in rent. What a great way to encourage a 78 year old man to get out of his apartment and meet people! Gotta get your money's worth!

I am very happy to be at The Kenwood

I moved in this week and am thrilled to live the rest of my life at The Kenwood. I've made many new friends and was even reacquainted with one of my old college professors from 50 years ago. I am a writer and avid reader and have many kindred spirits surrounding me. I am also living with Parkinson's Disease and will be part of their exercise and support groups. The neighbors and staff are outstanding. The food is great and the. conversation is always amazing.

The kenwood is lovely

The Kenwood is a wonderful place where the residents and staff have made my dad feel very at home. This is saying a lot considering that my dad has very isolationisttendencies. It is brilliant that breakfast is included in rent because my dad wouldnt let that perk go to waste! So he goes down for breakfast most days and engages with other people. His mental and physical abilities have improved significantly just from engaging more with people everyday rather than being alone at his house like he was. The staff are so friendly and thoughtful and it makes him feel safe

Why I like my Home at The Kenwood

I love the location. My daughter lives in Bryn Mawr (where I grew up) and I have two other children in Minneapolis. I am lucky to have a Southwest corner location and I can see planes flying in from the West, places in my childhood memory, and the seasons change (leaves). I’ve never heard of crossword since I moved in!

Love your Home

The Kenwood is good for me because I am close to my two sons and their families. Windows in my apartment are large, which offers me a great view of the downtown Minneapolis skyline. The windows also allow a lot of light into my apartment. Dining room servers and staff are always welcoming and friendly.

My Wonderful Home

Welcome to my home where the whole atmosphere is welcoming from staff to residents and aids. You would feel welcome. I love my view, the room space, and cleaning help. No one should be lonely or bored, because the many activities, led by experts. You would be happy to give up cooking because the food is very good! You couldn’t find a more educated group of friends.

The World Outside

There are many great things about The Kenwood, but the view is special. Some of my friends live in places like ours and their apartments are similar, but we have the gift of bringing the outside in day and night. It’s spectacular!

Independence – Opportunity – Safety - Service

Our health is great, but our years make it clear that this won’t last forever. For us, life at The Kenwood is independence plus safety and services. Our city location is terrific. We’re near family and friends; within minutes of libraries, health clubs, grocery stores, churches, parks, and every amenity of urban life that’s meant everything to us over the decades. We still drive - delighted to park our car in our heated garage. Two major bus lines are a block away. The Kenwood van is here if we need it. And the walkable neighborhood is worth its weight in gold. Of course, old friends and interest shifts as we age, but The Kenwood defies the notion that growing old shrinks our lives. Instead, we find new friends and new opportunities. Discussions are rich, memories are enhanced, and anytime we step out of the privacy of our apartment, new interests are near at hand. Independence, opportunities, services keep us young. We’ve found them all at The Kenwood

Gorgeous Views of the City

We love our apartment at The Kenwood, which has gorgeous views of the city. It’s just a short walk to a lovely park. There are some excellent programs and good conversations with people from diverse backgrounds. Management is thoughtful and efficient. A good place for us.

Our tour experience

Our family had an in person tour and we thought their programming was fabulous. We really liked the community a lot, it seemed like it was a well run facility and we thought our loved one would of enjoyed it there. What was challenging about Kenwood is their apartments, they were quite old fashion and even though we really liked the style our loved one did not.

The offer a shuttle to go to the grocery store or the doctor. They offer tons of activities like movies, games or music. I would recommend this community.

Helpful Staff!!

I have no complaints of how things had went during my tour of this community. The staff where on time to our appointment and made sure to answer any questions I had for them in detail. I liked the open floor plan as well as other great amenities they had available to the residents. Overall it was a great place just was not the right fit for myself in the end decision.

[Removed] gave my daughter and me a very good tour. It is a fine facility except that it is 'too' vertical. There is a definite 'pinch point' at the two elevators, and they are all used to get all residents to the 2nd floor where all the facilities are.
