Review for Kennedy Meadows Gracious Retirement Living

They are stuck on getting seniors on conservatorship & were prejudice against my age and sincere relationship involvement. I know the cost of living is hired Massachusetts but the rooms are not adequately priced as far as the square footage what I'm about to move someplace else for less than $[removed] less so it's just not making any sense to me

I received a very nice tour from John Mullen. Most impressing me to me: how the corridors were made inviting and cozy with small seating areas. I had lunch with 4 residents and they were welcoming. I liked the idea of a garden club and a book club. Nice to have an actual library area. Also liked the idea of a communal kitchen for those of us who like to cook. The apartments were nice but quite small! For most people, as for me, this means quite a transition. I would have liked a swimming pool! I will put Kennedy meadows on my list. It is the first place I have visited.

[Name Removed] was our contact person who did a fantastic job of explaining the facility and spent time explaining it thoroughly to us. We were impressed with everything there but one of the main issues was that there are only a few 2 bedroom units and they don't know how long a wait might be. We definitely want a 2 bedroom and also a porch/balcony. We did put our name on a "wait list". The facility it's self was very appealing, clean, bright and the residents we spoke with were very helpful.

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.

Thriving after retirement

It's been fabulous. My mom is thriving. Absolutely would recommend. My mom is constantly busy, has made wonderful friends, and is much healthier/ physically active. And an easy drive from the suburbs of Boston.

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.

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.

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.
