Canterfield of Kennesaw stands as the first and only senior living community in Kennesaw, Georgia, and folks here can choose from independent living, assisted living, or memory care options all under one roof in a three-story building just off 575 and Bells Ferry, so it's easy to get to. The place follows a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) model, so people can move between care types if their health needs change. Residents live in comfortable studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom apartments with kitchenettes, high-speed internet, and the comforts of home like granite countertops, crown moldings, and carpet, and there's underground covered parking for cars. The community allows pets, has wide sidewalks for walking, and provides many spots for social life or quiet time, including a library, Judges Library, business room, game room, Pottery & Kiln Room, Canterbury Theatre, a private dining room for families, and a main dining room where chef-prepared meals are served with the warmth of home but the feel of a 5-star restaurant.
Nursing staff are on-site for 12-16 hours a day, and there's a 24-hour call system if someone needs help at night, with weekly housekeeping and all utilities except cable and phone included, so simple living is possible here. Trained staff help with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, and getting around, and medication management support is offered for people who need reminders or help. There's a dedicated memory care neighborhood for people with Alzheimer's or other kinds of dementia, where the area stays safe and calm for residents who might get confused or wander. The facility also offers home care services from trained aides for those who choose to stay in their apartment but need a bit of extra help and companionship.
Canterfield of Kennesaw puts out a real effort with activities-there are social and fitness programs, music activities, community events, and spaces like the Starting Gate Lounge, beauty salon, spa, garden, wellness room, and a fitness room known as the Throughbred Health Club. There's scheduled transportation for errands and doctor visits, a concierge who handles appointments and transport, and special guest suites if loved ones want to visit overnight. The place stands out for offering group outings, business services, regular health and wellness classes, and accessibility for folks with handicaps. The facility has its own safety features, like a gated entrance, and a nurse on-site part-time.
The team here gets recognized for kindness, with awards for "Most Friendly" and "Best Activities," showing real effort to make everyone feel at home. There's a community score system to let families see how things are going, and current licensing is checked twice a year for extra peace of mind. Meals use quality ingredients and they serve three a day, all in a dining room made for both comfort and style. Residents stay engaged with group events, outings, and plenty of recreation options, and special touches like a gallery and FAQs help people and their families find the information they need about daily life. Overall, Canterfield of Kennesaw offers a setting that mixes a friendly, active environment with care and support for older adults at different stages, all in one well-kept building that tries to feel like a country club while never forgetting it's home for the people living there.
