Overview of Canterifield of Kennesaw

Canterfield of Kennesaw offers assisted living, independent living, and memory care in Kennesaw, GA. In assisted living, residents keep an apartment while receiving help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, while memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone who may be at risk of wandering.

Having these care levels in one community can suit a resident whose needs may grow over time without requiring a move elsewhere. Independent living includes both villas and apartments, so residents in that care level have distinct housing options. Respite care offers a short stay when a resident’s usual caregiver needs to travel or recover, and pets are allowed for residents who want to keep a companion animal with them.

Residents can use the pool, salon, spa, secured courtyard, and outdoor spaces. Group exercise classes, access to the fitness room, rehabilitation services, weekly happy hours, outings, and parties add activities and services to daily life. The area has a Walk Score of 59, placing it in the somewhat walkable category, so some errands can be done on foot; transportation is also available for trips farther away.

Lynn Dearing serves as the director. This community may be a good fit for someone who wants independent living, assisted living, or memory care, including a resident who may need more support over time or a short respite stay.
