Two friends built The Kenwood because they wanted to create a different kind of retirement community. They're just as committed today.
Most senior living communities are owned by national corporations, but we aren't. Our investors are truly invested. They care.
At The Kenwood, we're proud to say we respond in real time and tailor services to your wantsandneeds.
No Corporate Red Tape
Many senior living communities are managed by corporate offices located thousands of miles away. Our owners give staff autonomy to provide care centered around individuals, with transparent pricing and strong support.
People Stay
Three managers have been here over 20 years. The front office has more than 100 years of combined experience at The Kenwood. When ownership cares, staff stay. When staff stay, residents feel like family.
