I am a third-party healthcare provider who has worked in this community for over a year. Throughout that time, staff members have been kind, responsive, and easy to work with. Most importantly, I’ve come to know the wonderful residents and love them all very much. As someone who visits regularly, I have always felt welcomed and supported by the team. I’m grateful for the relationships I’ve built here and appreciate our collaborative commitment to resident care.

Mariah Johnson

Very accommodating with care requests. Change in schedules and very friendly staff and always asking how my sister is doing. She has had alot of health issues and changes in her meds and hospital stays. Hopefully that will change soon. At the end of her radiation treatments and so on.

I have found at Kettlestone enjoyable. The staff here are very friendly and very knowledgeable and that does not even begin to describe them. The same things can be said of the administration. The good food here is excellent with two chefs cooking. I can honestly say that I have not a meal that I did not enjoy. There are many activities offered here. From shopping outings to movies to games to Friday afternoon Happy Hour.

It's a beautiful facility that tries to have activities to engage the residents. The staff is caring. There is a resident advocate group that meets with the staff to talk through any issues or new ideas which I think is great. They seem to bring in a variety of entertainers each week which the residents seem to enjoy. My relative is able to walk in the building for exercise as well as attend generally daily exercise classes which has been so good for her. She has made several friends and enjoys living in this community.
