What this means for your family
Kennybrook Village is highly regarded for its clean, modern environment and professional staff, making it a strong candidate for assisted living and memory care. However, families should be aware of the facility's strict financial asset requirements for admission and clarify deposit policies early in the process to avoid potential frustration.
