Nancy Homdrom: I've attended several Twin Cities Senior Centers and Edina Senior Center is my "Go to"!

Linda Neilsen: I am new to Edina. I had briefly played Mah Jong in CA. But I definitely needed to be brought up to speed. The group has a great room in which to play, the instructor was terrific, and the other players were great. The instructor was very patient and that’s VERY important when you’re learning. I’d go back to continue my lessons.

Nancy Vest: I had a meeting there. The space is large and open for rental! It had everything. Tables, podium, microphone. Newly decorated and easy to find. Can't be beat.

Martin LaVenture: This as a wonderful facility designed to support seniors in Edina, MN. It is located on the lower level of the City/County library building and has a walk out for easy access. We attended the holiday concert presented by the Edina Singing Seniors. The concert was primarily for family and friends of the members of the group. It was actually a sing along and was a lot of fun and helped get all of us in the holiday spirit. After the singing we enjoyed treats in the lovely kitchen and eating area. This is a terrific resource for the city residents and my quick scan of the other rooms and scheduled events suggests an impressive set of activities. If you can, come enjoy this modern, clean and smart facility and services.

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!!!

Fran Glomb: Very friendly, informative ,welcoming and helpful .

Marsha Peterson: The new building is gorgeous! What a nice improvement! Excellent!I just worry about how narrow the hallway is.

Eve Mooberry: Tranquil....🌻

Carol Hagar: Mom moved to Walker Methodist Place a month ago. She relocated from Dallas to be closer to family. After a year of isolation due to Covid-19 I was worried about her transition. I'm delighted to say the team at Walker Place has done an extraordinary job. The day she arrived she was met by all the key members of the team that would support her. Three of her neighbors dropped personal "welcome to the community" notes under her door in the first week and have invited her to join them in activities. She's looking forward to walking the gardens at Lake Harriet and attending concerts at the bandshell with us. She loves the location, appreciates the warmth and professionalism of the staff, and most of all, feels welcomed to her new home. We are deeply grateful!

ron Donacik: Incredibly friendly and welcoming! Have seen many shiny new communities but they lack warmth and culture. The people here are amazing and the experience is exceptional!

Charles Layton: Caring staff. Well maintained. Excellent services.

Carole Kramlinger: This place is very nice and clean, friendly staff.

Pahua Vang: We had a good experience even though sometimes the wait time for assistance from the nurses can be slow. The place is clean. Visitation is flexible and unlimited and we were able to have someone stayed with our family member over night throughout the stay there which was very important for us.

Jeanne Gilbert: I was a volunteer at this facility and staff were professional, polite and helpful.

Cindy Zaworski: It is my place of employment and I love it! Would put my own family here if needed. Newly renovated and beautiful. My coworkers are all very caring people. Catholic mass every day.
