    Review Summary

    The following is an AI generated summary of the reviews of the community from across the web.

    Reviews of Friends Home in Kennett offer a mixed but generally positive view of the community. Some reviewers note that the community tends to cater to an older demographic, with activities more suited to less active residents, such as card games. Despite this, many appreciate the caring, home-like atmosphere and the staff's dedication to accommodating residents' needs.

    The location of Friends Home in Kennett is highlighted as convenient, being close to town amenities, restaurants, and healthcare facilities. The community offers a range of services including meals, laundry, and salon services, with some reviewers noting the quality of food and the cleanliness of the facility.

    While some residents and their families have experienced issues related to apartment maintenance, cleanliness, and food service, these are attributed to short-staffing, and efforts to resolve these issues are acknowledged. The community is described as warm and friendly, with both staff and residents contributing to a welcoming environment.

    Several reviewers recommend Friends Home in Kennett, particularly for those looking for a smaller, community-oriented living situation. The staff is praised for their friendliness and caring nature, and the community is noted for its efforts to upgrade and maintain its facilities. Activities, though limited, are available, and the community is seen as providing good value for the cost.

    However, some concerns are raised regarding the suitability of the facility for residents with higher mobility needs, as the historic nature of the building limits wheelchair accessibility. Additionally, one review expresses dissatisfaction with management changes and the perceived impact on the community's atmosphere and staff.

    Overall, Friends Home in Kennett is described as a place where residents can find care, comfort, and a sense of belonging, with many families expressing gratitude for the care their loved ones receive. The community's small size and the personal attention from staff are frequently mentioned as key benefits.
