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.

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.

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.
