Amanda Hankins: The Kenwood is a wonderful place to live, my grandmother has been a resident there for three years now. The staff are all amazing, always willing to help. I highly recommend The Kenwood.

Matt Rhodes: They always have such a good variety of activities. There is something for everyone. There are lots of interesting and fun outings. The have entertainers in to perform as well.

Heather Potter: Kenwood is a clean, friendly, quiet and seemingly happy place to be with great views of downtown. I encountered many staff who were friendly and engaging in the common areas, kitchen, and hallways. Tenants were out and about and the staff seemed to know them well and everyone just seemed happy to be there, both working and living.

Jon Fisher: The Kenwood is located in a beautiful neighborhood in Minneapolis.The management staff is very knowledgeable, and exceptionally kind. The staff are engaging, pleasant and genuinely care for the residents who live there. The facility is well maintained, clean and has always felt very safe.We would highly recommend The Kenwood.

Jean Kitzmann: I have witnessed the caring atmosphere of the Kenwood. The residents appear pleased and content with their surroundings. They have great outings, special events and a caring staff!! Precautions are taken for their safety. I would strongly recommend this facility for you or your loved one.

Kimberly Werner: I posted a review about a year ago extolling the virtues of The Kenwood and how happy my mother was there. At that time, she had been living at The Kenwood for a few months. Now, a year later, we are just as pleased. I say "we" because having her so happy and well cared for not only makes me happy, it also means I don't need to worry. I highly recommend The Kenwood. While my mother uses a wheelchair and needs a certain level of assistance, I see residents of all levels of independence, and everyone seems to be happy and enjoying life.

Karl Voiles: always available and who made our transition from Oregon to Minneapolis seamless. Many of the staff have been here for years, which speaks to the good relationship between management, staff and residents. We look forward to many happy years here.

K W: I moved my mother to The Kenwood three to four months ago and we both could not be happier. Previously she had been in a "good" facility in another state. Her experience at The Kenwood has been far superior to anything we ever dreamed of. It is worth noting that my mother uses a wheelchair and requires assistance with transfers. The staff at The Kenwood quickly learned what works best with my mother on those transfers. Equally, or maybe even more importantly, they provide this assistance with dignity and courtesy. So not only is my mother getting the assistance that she needs, nobody is treating her like a burden.Of course, no place is perfect and we have encountered a few small issues, particularly as part of her transition. The Director was immediately responsive and then followed up. Any place that depends so much on staff will have an issue at some point, but the level of responsiveness turned these small issues into positives because my mother knows that if she has a concern she will be heard.It's worth noting that the staff are wonderful. I was told this and now I have seen it. Again, my mother previously was in an assisted living facility. It is a real breath of fresh air to feel that The Kenwood staff actually like their jobs.There are more positives. The activities are multiple, diverse and of good quality. As are the residents. I think these two things go hand in hand. I would describe The Kenwood as a community of vibrant, out-going older people. While they may need some degree of assistance, they are very much alive!The food is also excellent and varied. The variety is especially worth noting. Even good food can get boring if you've seen it too often so I am especially impressed by the continued fresh takes on the menu.The location is also a plus. The Kenwood is just off the highway, so I can get there from my house in Como in just minutes. It's probably easy to get to from just about anywhere in Minneapolis. For me this makes it easy to stop in to drop something off, say hello, etc. and not feel like its a big deal because I had to drive so far. The immediate neighborhood is beautiful and the Walker Arts Center and Sculpture Garden are just a few blocks north. A short distance to the south on Hennepin Ave is Kowalski's Market and several of our favorite restaurants are in the Uptown area.I've done my best to provide objective reasons why we are so pleased with The Kenwood, but the best part for me is knowing how happy my mother is.

Heather Wang: The Kenwood is a wonderful place. Everyone is so friendly, both the staff and the residents. You couldn't ask for nicer people. Mom's seventh-floor apartment has lots of windows and light, and room for everything she wanted to bring with her when she moved in two years ago, including her piano. It's an easy walk to the Walker Art Center Sculpture Garden and an even easier walk to a beautiful neighborhood park a block away. They have a very nice dining room in the building that serves good food, where I occasionally joined Mom for meals pre-Covid. During the last year and a half, the staff at the Kenwood has kept all the residents safe, and I truly appreciate that. I am so grateful for that. But I very much hope Mom never has to go through another round of extreme isolation again. The people who live at the Kenwood are an independent, energetic, accomplished group, who engage with life and the community. And they, together with the equally wonderful and accomplished people who work there, make it the good place to live that it is. Highly recommend.

Barbara Snow: residents contracting the virus. Zero. They are constantly evaluating and looking for better processes and outcomes for the residents. A gem of a place.

Diane Richard: My parents left their home of 62 years and crossed state lines—during Covid, post Floyd uprising—to live at The Kenwood. Though nothing about the timing of their arrival was ideal, they have settled in beautifully. The friendly and helpful Kenwood staff have made them feel welcome and invigorated, and they are getting to know others as social activities spring back to life. My folks are joiners; they sit in the front row during yoga and movies and are first in line to hear concerts at Lake Harriet. They like the independence of their own kitchen—and making me run around town for groceries. I believe they feel “at home” at The Kenwood. And I have peace of mind that they have the support they need to live independently. Also, The Kenwood was among the first senior buildings to get access to the vaccine—a HUGE relief for me! The protocols kept residents safe, and now my 90-something mom and dad are flourishing.

Judith Tennebaum: The Kenwood has been providing a warm and supportive community for my brother. He has felt comfortable, safe and well-cared for through the pandemic and local unrest. He has made good friends and has especially enjoyed the activities within the building. The nursing care has been kind and thoughtful and communicated well with his family.

Kim Heckmann: If you are looking for an assisted living facility for yourself or loved one you have found it. The Kenwood is really an amazing place. Staff are absolutely fabulous, all of them! The building is very nice, interesting activities and the most impressive thing is that everyone I’ve talked to that lives at The Kenwood loves it, I mean they really love it. You can feel the upbeat positive vibe throughout the facility. The Kenwood should be a blueprint on how to do Assisted Living right. Kudos to everyone there for having such a great place! So thankful!

William M. “Bill” Weir: Wonderful welcoming by

ruth Lewart: Love living in the place, including all the workers, main complaint is the elevators.

Katherine Spaeth: My grandfather lives at The Kenwood. Recently he has needed more services and it was seamless to add additional nursing care. Moreover, the people who have helped and responded to my grandfather have been stellar. Before he needed extra help, Rosa-in housekeeping-was always so kind and attentive to him without ever needing to ask- she went beyond her job to genuinely care for him. Thank you!!!

Peggy Schierl: A friend and I toured Village Shores with Hala. She did a wonderful introducing us to the Village Shores community, showing us the many wonderful aspects of the apartments, and sharing the activities and energy of the building. Hala really connected with us regarding the needs and wants of my friend, who is seeking an assisted-living community.

Courtney Poja: The nonprofit I work for was the recipient of many handmade, beautiful winter items for the families we serve. I was so impressed by how kind the staff is and how they look for opportunities to connect their residents with the broader community.

Susan Schrader: My Mom has lived at Village Shores for 4 years. She is so happy there which makes me so glad she chose that place. She often says she has "no complaints" and loves her apartment facing west so she can see beautiful sunsets. There is a great variety of programs and I often have trouble finding a time to see her as she is so busy - that's a good problem to have! She loves the food, balance class, Deszo's history lectures, and her two book groups! There is always a friendly and active atmosphere happening there! I enjoy talking with residents and staff when I come to visit!

JulieAnn Worthen: Village Shores has been very welcoming to host the MY Credit Union Adventure Club. I always enjoy my times visiting with the staff and residents and especially playing Bus Bingo.

Linda Brink: I have had the opportunity to meet most of the delightful leadership at Village Shores. Their genuine warmth is what I am greeted with whenever I am there. I had the opportunity to attend their Veteran's Ceremony and was touched by the way they held their residents in such high regard. The community itself beckons you in and brings such a sense of belonging. It really feels like home.

Natalie VanBurkleo-Carbonara: put forth making sure the residents have top notch programming in arts, music, mindfulness, exercise and more!

Francis McMahon: It's safe, clean, and the staff is great. Also, if you want to stay busy, you have plenty of opportunities to do so. I'm happy to live here.

Chris Blackstad: No

Tarri Levine: Friendly, welcoming association.

Robert Axberg: Friendly atmosphere with very nice accommodations.

Rebecca Lindstrom: I won’t be ready for senior living for probably 4-6 years, but Chrissy was nice enough to give me and my neighbor a tour, and also provided us with lunch. Village Shores is beautiful, reasonably priced, they offer a lot of activities and amenities and the residence and staff are very friendly. When the time comes, Village Shores will be high on my list as an option for senior living!

Joseph Peck: I recently moved in and am very happy in my new apartment. The facility is very clean, the staff are great to work with, and the meals in the Bistro are amazing. I'm glad I decided to move in and plan to reside here for a long time. JP.

Mary Pogatshnik: My family will always be grateful to all the folks at The Legacy for the quality and authenticity of care and service our loved one enjoys. It’s been years now and the health and happiness of our family member only improves..

Linda Jensen: Stopped by to visit a friend of mine. This facility is beautiful. Such a friendly environment not a single person who didnt greet me when walking by. It was great to see all the people socializing with one another and having a good time. My friend was telling me there is sure a lot to do if one wants to stay busy and went on to share with me how good the food is. To all the staff I know you probably don't hear it enough but, thanks for all you do and making the lives of those in your care matter.

Ali Haverstock: My dad was there for 3 years. The entire staff was unbelievable as far as expert care. I loved all of the staff! The dedication was unparalleled. The nurses would often miss meals to care for their patients. What sacrifice. I worked at a Nursing Home where the priority of the nurses was their coffee breaks.I was literally the only 1 to answer the emergency bells. St Benedictine is my favorite nursing home by far. I have been singing at homes since age 3.Sincerely YoursAli Haverstock
