Brookdale Kenwood
Brookdale Kenwood offers assisted living and memory care in Cincinnati, OH. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication, while memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering.
The community has 47 beds, with studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom residences. A studio suits one person, while a two-bedroom layout can suit a couple moving together. Starting monthly prices are $5,320 for assisted living and $5,065 for memory care, with the amount tied to the care level a resident receives. Respite care provides a short-term stay for a family caregiver who needs support while traveling or recovering.
Brookdale Kenwood may be a good fit for a resident whose care needs could grow over time because assisted living and memory care are available in the same community. Residents may bring pets and take part in fitness classes, art classes, and social events, with a salon and spa, courtyard, and garden on site. The area has a Walk Score of 43 and is car-dependent, so most errands require a car or a ride; transportation is available for trips that require one.
