My mother was very reluctant to visit any senior living facilities. I was astonished when she was excited and enthusiastic about every part of our tour, after getting her in the door. The sales associate, who never felt like he was "selling" was the nicest, great humored, interesting and knowledgeable person I could have imagined. The women we had lunch with and the managers of the facility were the best. No question, the people we met are the best selling point. But the rooms were bright and inviting- most with a balcony, the common places were really nice - the library with fireplace especially, the food was delicious, plentiful and many options were available, even the artwork on the walls impressed my mom quite a lot. It seemed like a classy place with honest good people.

Review for Kennedy Meadows Gracious Retirement Living
Wonderful place and I'm happy I need to get back home so never leave. I like the hospitality and cleanliness. Kennedy Meadows is great it has all the amenities inclusive to what someone needs even a full salon for men and women - pool table, events and a good running vehicle to take you to and from grocery store, personal doctor visits and I have a movie cinema.

Review for Kennedy Meadows Gracious Retirement Living
It's recently built. Staff is nice. Does not require a buy in fee. Has nice extras like travel program with sister centers and rooms for guest. It is more high end for price but you get what you pay for.

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.

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.
