    Kennedy-Meadows is a 55 and over retirement community that looks like a nursing home. The food is…read moremediocre at best and there are no activities such as pickle ball or a pool more suited to the 55 yo crowd. The best thing I can say about it is it is cheaper then anything in its class, that's why so many people who should be in assisted living or a nursing home are residents there.

    Would never have imagined it possible to have so many negative experiences at "come & check us out"…read moremeals as we've had at Kennedy Meadows. Not just from one staff member, but from multiple who made it clear they couldn't care less what was going on w/ my mom's health, what I as her caregiver was going through, what we'd already gotten permission to do from other staff members, etc. Most unbelievably though, their maintenance person told me never to come back and that we would be trespassed (i.e., arrested) if we did because we ate too much at their lunches and told others we had negative experiences here. So if you only hear glowing things from the people you meet here, maybe that's why? I find myself surprised to be writing this when we had such a positive initial experience here, incl. from one of the people who was later extremely rude. Based on that early good experience, I was planning to put my mother here for a few days to give myself a respite & test the waters for a longer-term stay. Now I can't do that. There are so many easy ways staff could have handled things better. But if this is how they handle simple or unexpected lunch scenarios, how would they handle more important issues that come up with my mom living here? Maybe there is a reason why despite being open for years, Kennedy Meadows is still holding fancy meals to attract new residents when other nearby senior livings have years-long waitlists w/o these events. If you go to one of Kennedy Meadows' free meals after being invited & RSVP'ing, just know that: - they run out of food well before lunch ends so it's best to arrive early - they will not hold food for you for after the tour, so again go early - they monitor how much you eat & treat you like a thief if you eat "too much" - they apply their "rules" selectively to some guests & not others - they may mock you to your face, as one staff member did to me. Also, per one woman I overheard, the food at these meals is not what they offer residents on a regular basis. We are grateful for the couple employees who were professional & treated us nicely, and the kitchen staff who were great at serving meals, but that's not enough to outweigh the rudeness & open hostility from the activity, marketing, maintenance & other staff. Everyone is free to come to their own conclusions, but this very sadly was our experience. It's such a huge decision to move a loved one into a care home and it's easy to wonder if you did the right thing, if they're being properly cared for and treated well, are happy, etc. I hope everyone's loved one finds a place they trust and can rely on in their golden years, but I can no longer imagine that Kennedy Meadows could be such a place.
