I had the opportunity to tour with Jodie and visit this healthcare center and was truly impressed. The skilled rehab team was knowledgeable and compassionate, and the respite stay options were clearly designed with comfort and dignity in mind. What stood out most was the all-female memory care unit. The residents were so loving and friendly, and the staff created an environment that felt calm, safe, and genuinely caring. You could feel the comfort the moment you walked in , it didn’t feel clinical, it felt like home. Every interaction reflected kindness, respect, and a deep commitment to quality care. This is the kind of place you would feel confident trusting with someone you love. Thank you Jodie for showing us your beautiful building!

Kenwood Terrace is a wonderful facility, the staff was very caring, courteous and friendly and their physical and occupational therapy teams were topnotch. The management and social workers went above and beyond to ensure I was well taken care of during my recovery. I'm really going to miss the people here when I go. Highly recommend this facility! 10/10
