The staff at Kennybrook are incredibly kind, compassionate, and attentive. It is clear that they genuinely care about the residents. Everyone is treated with dignity, respect, and patience, and the atmosphere feels warm and welcoming.

The communication with families is excellent, and the staff go above and beyond to make sure residents are comfortable, safe, and well cared for. It is such a comfort knowing that your loved one is in a place where the people caring for them truly care about their well-being.

I would highly recommend Kennybrook to anyone looking for a caring, compassionate, and supportive environment for their loved one. We are extremely grateful for everything the staff do every day!

Kennybrook Village is truly a community that feels like home. The longevity in leadership speaks volumes about the people and the culture they have created. You can feel the dedication and compassion from the amazing staff who genuinely care about the residents.

The environment is comforting, clean, welcoming, and there is always something fun happening to keep residents engaged and connected. It’s clear that creating a place where people feel valued and at home is a priority.

If my own family ever needed this level of care, Kennybrook Village would absolutely be at the top of my list. I would confidently recommend Kennybrook to anyone looking for a caring, clean, and welcoming community for their loved one.

Mom was a resident of Kennybrook long-term healthcare facility from November of last year until her passing in April 2026. My brothers and I felt the care she received there was outstanding. As she passed through the various phases of Alzheimer’s dementia, she was always treated with utmost respect and kindness by the staff, from the supervising nurse down to the newest Patient assistant. Her dignity seemed to be of great concern to them, as well. Her room, and indeed the entire wing, was always kept clean and smelling as fresh as possible. When her time finally came, and the funeral home came to collect her, available staff formed an honor walk and a very sweet statement was read for her. Absolutely a first class operation from the day we arrived!

Alyssa was incredible today! KennyBrook has all the amenities to continue our loved one to live independently within a community so caring and positive. The apartments are nicely designed, the facilities are extremely clean and well cared for and the ability to accommodate any level of care, so future moves will not be needed, Peace of mind is priceless, thank you Alyssa!

Staff was extremely helpful and informative. Facility was very clean. Great amenities.

Julie Gootee

My husband and I toured Kennybrook Village to see about his mother possibly moving into their assisted living community. We were very impressed with their facility. Alyssa, their Director of Marketing, was very friendly and thorough about details of living there. It was obvious that she is liked by residents as we toured and people there appeared content and happy. The rooms were spacious with adequate closet and storage space. Alyssa described numerous activities that their residents can do and be involved in. The price to live there is more reasonable and affordable compared to other retirement facilities we have toured. We are seriously considering Kennybrook for my mother-in-law!

Melissa Ziegert

Beautiful, clean facility. Alyssa was informative, kind & gave us just the right of information we wanted !

Beth Williamson

Had a good first visit/impression at Kennybrook. All our questions were answered and it was nice to get a no-rush tour. There are lots of emotions around this decision, but we felt very comfortable with Alyssa.

John Ruhland

Kim gave an amazingly thorough and informative tour of the facility. She answered all of our questions in a friendly and professional manner. We were very impressed with Kennybrook!

Jill Purcell

We had a very nice visit and were impressed with the people, services, apartments and commons spaces. We would be very comfortable having our loved one living here.

What a great place. The staff was extremely helpful and caring. I would strongly recommend you visit Kennybrook village when you are looking for nursing home options.

Kathy Anderson

Took a tour last summer and was very impressed. However they would not consider my parent for admission due to their lack of assets even though I would be the responsible party for payment and my assets were more than adequate. We wasted valuable time on your wait list, and you even took our $2500 deposit before you rejected Mom. We will move on to find a facility that will take our money.

Jen

I toured KennyBrook this week as a possibility for my parents. I was really impressed with their community. Especially the separate memory care house “Maggie’s Place”. I never would have said “I’d like to live here!” Regarding a memory care facility, but here we are. When the time comes, it brings me peace to know that a place like KennyBrook is there for my parents.

Ronda G

I toured Kennybrook Village today with Alyssa Poland. I am very impressed with the assisted living and all that is included in this program.

I loved the dining area. It was a very welcoming place to enjoy dining with new friends.

It warmed my heart to see the wall of veterans displayed on an entry wall. I’m sure these veterans enjoy sharing their stories.

Alyssa answered all my questions and was extremely helpful. When I left, I felt I found a new friend.

Alissa and Tayla are class acts.

John McGraw

Great facility in Grimes. Newly remodeled units. A very knowledgeable tour staff from our experience. Definitely recommend for a tour if you're looking for care facilities.

Christine Albers

Toured the facility-Exceeded my expectations! It's way bigger than it looks. It has every level to meet needs. Independent, Assisted, Memory, rehabilitation and long term units. Home-like atmosphere, beautifully decorated, special touches, great activities. As a CNA for 14 years and LPN for 4, what really got my attention was the rehab rooms and long-term care floor. I've been in a-lot of facilities and these units look more like a fancy hotel with all the amenities. Worth the tour!

Kirk Graeve

We toured this place, staff was very friendly, residents seemed happy, looks like there is a lot to do.

LeAnn Paulsen

Alyssa was very helpful with the tour and understanding services available for assisted living. We are looking forward to our Mother joining the Kennybrook community.

Kevin Folden

Kennybrook is a model example of what an assisted-living/long-term care facility should be like. It has been wonderful working with the staff at Kennybrook in order to get my father into assisted living. They have gone the extra mile trying to facilitate his entry into their facility and helping with paperwork and issues with the insurance. The staff is readily available and always cheerful and helpful. If I ever have to go into an assisted-living or long-term care facility to live, this would be the place that I would want to be in.

Linda DeYoung

I called for a tour and was able to get a tour within hours. The facility was very clean. I like their sign in process and temperature check The staff knew every resident and called them by name. Staff was preparing for an activity and were having a great time. It was very up beat and everyone seemed happy.

Kathy Goetz

Ajay Winter

My parents chose to live at Kennybrook three months ago and love it! The staff are great, food is fresh with diverse options and the facility is beautiful. They feel like they live in an apartment with help if they need it! It was a VERY good choice for our family.

Our mom has been in Cedar Ridge Village for a year and 1/2. This place is wonderful, unfortunately she now requires memory care. We will transitioning to Maggie’s Place in the near future and feel the fit will be perfect .

William Whitney

Very nice facility and staff - prices a little high

Danielle Malone

Toured on October 17th, 2022, potentially looking for an assisted living for my grandmother (82 years of age). Kennybrook Village went above and beyond my expectations. They have so many activities and benefits for day to day living. The apartments, 1 bedroom, are extremely spacious, clean, and laid out perfectly. Alyssa was a great help answering all my questions and helping me with a plan for my grandmother.

Nancy Silverthorn

Kennybrook Village personnel were all very kind and friendly. They answered all of my questions. They were very good and loving to the residents that I saw during my tour. I know Kennybrook Village will be the best choice for my sister who is on their waiting list.

Daila Skoog

We have been looking for a place for my mom to get her back to Des Moines from Phoenix Az. Met with Alyssa today and toured the facility very impressed she explained everything very throughly and answered all of our questions The facility is beautiful and very welcoming ! . Made my mom feel very comfortable so comfortable she went from not being real excited about our appointment before we got there today to signing an agreement to

Be put on the wait list. So excited! I think this is a place where my mom will feel very at home and be very happy Thanks Alyssa ❤

Sharon Scott

While smaller than some other retirement facilities, it feels much more like home. All the amenities are here-beauty salon, fitness room, etc. Also available are all levels of care with no large endowment required. Totally refundable deposit is required to be put on their wait list. Everyone I met was exceptionally warm and friendly.

Mike Broome

We have a family member moving to Iowa from another state who needs Assisted Living accommodations. We searched extensively throughout the western portion of the Des Moines metro area and found that without a doubt, that Kennybrook has the best overall service offering. All discussions and dealings we have to this point have been very organized and professional with both Administration and Nursing representatives. I have no doubt our family will have a very good long standing business relationship with Kennybrook Village.

Lisa Larson

Such a warm and welcoming community. It feels like family... what could be better?

Matt McAfee

I just toured the facility and thought everything was very nice and clean. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. I think Kennybrook Village has everything my parents are looking for and would be a great place for them to spend their golden years!

Kennybrook Village.. The staff are so caring and friendly and treat the residents like family.. And providing the residents with many activities.. My dad is so happy there.

david saunders

I had an excellent experience touring the memory care facility. Everything was new, clean, and well taken care of. I was most impressed with the family-like setting that encouraged residents to gather and spend time in the common areas. Very nice…

Meg Eaton

My mother lives at Maggie's Place at Kennybrook Village. Her care has been thoughtful and respectful. We are updated with any developments and communication with all at Kennybrook Village has been great!! It takes trust to place your loved one's care in someone else's hands, and we feel we can trust the people at Maggie's with our mom's care. We are so thankful for everyone there!

Laree Hawks

I must say Alyssa, our tour guide was awesome. She did a great job communicating with us and answering all our questions. She also did a great following up as well.

trish gilbert

I’m impressed with Kennybrook. Warm and friendly staff, lots of amenities for the residents, and the apartments are spacious and have all the bells and whistles we hoped to find.

Kennybrook is one of the finest Senior Living communities around! The upper management is very caring and involved with residents and the upkeep and maintenance of the building and grounds is top notch! I had the privilege of operating KB's onsite salon for 4 years before relocating close to my home. I miss the Residents and staff still to this day! This is a place I would highly recommend!
