As a community partner of Kempton’s, I can confidently say that this Is a wonderful option for someone who is needing rehab, memory care, or skilled nursing. From the Executive Director, to the Sales team, the Nurses and Home health aids - anyone that lives in this community is very lucky. The attention to detail and the care they provide their residents, is truly second to none.

I cannot say enough good things about Renee Chavis at Kempton. From start to finish, she went above and beyond to make sure my mother’s needs were met with care, clarity, and compassion.<br><br>Renee was consistently communicative, thorough, and incredibly encouraging during a very stressful time for our family. She made herself available at regular intervals, kept us informed every step of the way, and always followed up exactly when she said she would. There was never a moment where we felt in the dark or unsure about next steps.<br><br>What stood out most was her genuine investment. She didn’t treat this as just another case to manage. She approached our situation with empathy, professionalism, and a steady reassurance that meant more than I can put into words. When you’re navigating complex healthcare decisions for someone you love, having a person like Renee in your corner makes all the difference.<br><br>It is truly refreshing to work with someone so dependable, responsive, and kind during a time of greatest need. Kempton is fortunate to have her, and so are the families she serves.

Kimi and Ariana, physical and occupational therapists, respectively, were outstanding and got me literally back on my feet and confident. My family and I are so very grateful for their skills and support along the way to success. Also the nurses, supporting staff and dietary plan were all exceptional and much appreciated.<br>Thank you for everything.<br>Marti S.
