Kennybrook Village is a senior living campus at 200 SW Brookside Drive in Grimes, Iowa. Managed by Jayce Wilson and operated by Scenic Development LLC, the facility serves Polk County with 40 skilled nursing beds alongside independent and assisted living options. Current reports show 35 occupants in the nursing wing, while the assisted living program reports 32 residents. The facility operates under license 770858, which remains active through January 2026.
Regulatory records show a high overall CMS rating but identify recent challenges in dietary services. A January 2025 inspection resulted in four deficiencies, primarily involving failures to maintain safe food temperatures and follow prescribed menus. Despite these citations, the facility maintains a strong long-term record, with the assisted living component achieving a citations-per-inspection rate of zero during its most recent July 2025 review.
Clinical services are supported by staffing levels that exceed state averages, providing 5 hours and 11 minutes of nursing care per resident daily. Data highlights a significant focus on rehabilitation, with physical therapist staffing 50% higher than the Iowa average. Professional care includes speech language pathology, occupational therapy, and specialized memory care at “Maggie’s Place”. CMS quality measures for long-stay residents are 44.5% better than state benchmarks, reflecting high clinical outcomes in high-risk categories.
The residential environment includes social outings, museum visits, and fitness programming designed for varying activity levels. Shared amenities feature pet-friendly suites, housekeeping, and private dining options. Monthly costs range from $2,950 for independent living to $7,650 for memory care. The community primarily serves private-pay residents but accepts Medicare and Medicaid for those requiring short-term medical rehabilitation.
This campus fits seniors seeking high nurse-to-resident ratios and intensive physical therapy. Families evaluating Kennybrook Village should ask directly about the corrective actions taken regarding the 2025 food service citations and request a recent temperature log for meal services before making a placement decision.
Kennybrook Village is administered by Jayce Wilson.
In Iowa, the Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing conducts unannounced health and safety surveys to monitor compliance and protect residents in long-term care settings.
