Very nice accommodations. Amenities are nice.It would be nice if the bottom kitchen cupboards would have pull out shelves or drawers. Very few 85 year olds are inclined to get on their hands and knees to retrieve items. So unused kitchen space. It appears that Canterfield is saving dollars on food served in the dining room. Attention should be given to preparing healthy food for residents. More fruit, vegetables and Mediterranean diet options should be provided for the health of residents. Same menu for a week is boring and unappetizing.... Read more
Canterfield of Kennesaw is proud to be the first and only senior living community in Kennesaw Georgia, with an established, supportive community for residents that require independent living, assisted living, and memory care services. We believe in cultivating a truly exceptional way of life that allows residents the dignity to design each day to their greatest desire. Our natural landscape is emboldened by rich, green landscaping, and a peaceful courtyard that provides residents and guests the opportunity to embrace the outdoors. Our concept for senior living was developed in the 1980’s by Winston Porter, whose social model of senior living was “to be cared for in a carefree environment.” Our community is designed in a hotel-like fashion that always feels like home and complements the dignity, safety, and quality of life to all residents. Contact an advisor at A Place for Mom, and let us know how we can care for you!
Our community is nurtured by our deep consideration to treat residents like family. A concierge is available for any questions or needs, like help with transportation services, and our caregiving staff is available around all hours for your personal and medical services needs like medication management and...

We looked at 5 to 6 extended care facilities and Canterfield of Kennesaw stood out from the rest at our first visit. Now that mom has been here for several months, she is just loving it. She has made new friends and enjoys the many activities that are available. The staff is awesome and is very attentive to mom's needs. We couldn't be happier. Highly recommend Canterfield of Kennesaw.

The overall experience has been very good and the community is very clean. The staff very friendly and attentive. I'm in independent living. However we're having a COVID epidemic. Staff set testing station and have those positive isolated. Dining hall closed . All residents are served in their rooms. Breakfast and light meal in evening. Give staff a 5 for organizing the COVID response. Excellent meals with a variety on the menu new menu every week.

Super staff. They're all so kind and are supportive of all Canterfield residents. Mom loves all the planned activities and she stays busy! I've enjoyed dining with mom there on several occasions and the food is remarkably very good. Highly recommend.
I'm not a joiner so haven't availed myself of the many activities, but with the ones I have the people have been very friendly. There are activities for everyone here. The Activities Director is outstanding. I chose Canterfield because I had a friend in the industry who told me that the family who owns these places goes for the absolute best. I can tell by the quality and design of my bathrooms and the architecture of my apartment. They also offered some rent reduction for the first year.

We moved my mom in October 2022 and have been so pleased with everything at Canterfield of Kennesaw. The food is delicious. The activities are varied, fun, and always offering opportunities to go/do/engage. The care team is fantastic - always helping us learn, and keeping us updated regularly. The network of medical teams that come to Canterfield and the close proximity to other medical offices and hospitals is great. As I've come to learn, the value for the money is also outstanding. Above all else, I take great comfort knowing my mom is safe, happy, engaged, and enjoying her assisted living community.

The morning mom woke up and came downstairs and told me she had been praying and wanted to move to Canterfield of Kennesaw was an unexpected surprise. After being her person for so long I was happy she had made this decision for herself but also felt like “who’s going to take care of mom like I will?”. Well let me tell you about the earthbound angels at Canterfield …. they take care of my mom with patience, grace, compassion and love. They love on her, they see to her needs, she’s been sick and they nurture her, the food is great, the entertainment is often and wonderful, they do field trips, have movies every night, maintenance, laundry, and housekeeping staff are super, and the management staff has guided me every step of the way. If you or your loved one is looking at options I 100% encourage you to check out Canterfield, you won’t be sorry.

The passing of my Dad is still very new and my heart is broken. I miss my dad dearly ! Everyone and I do mean EVERY staff member at Canterfield took such good care of him and loved him like family I’m forever grateful to you all. I work in many of the facilities around Atlanta, but Canterfield is by far the most intimate down home family feel. I would recommend canterfield above all others. Bless you all for all you do ! Merry Christmas! Love from Jim’s family

Since moving to Canterfield Independent Living last January, my husband and I can't imagine living anywhere else! The other residents and the staff are like family to us. Everyone genuinely loves and cares about each other. The activities are numerous and so diverse and fun, including, crafts, games, happy hours with live entertainment, trips to vineyards, concerts, and museums to mention just a few. The amenities are so well done. The residences are well thought out and beautifully constructed and well appointed, from granite countertops and crown molding throughout, to large bathrooms...all built with older residents needs considered. We are truly happy here. It really is home!

Canterfield of Kennesaw Independent living is one of the few places in our community that provides great food, fun activities (on and off site) a gym and a heated pool all in one place! It’s a great transition for older parents that want to stay active!! The residents and staff are amazing!! My parent’s small dog loves it too!!! I’m so glad we found it! More retirement communities need to be modeled after it!

Response from Canterfield of Kennesaw
December 14, 2023Thank you so much for your kind words and for allowing us to take care of your loved one!
Our Canterfield experience was a warm and welcoming one that provided great confidence and comfort during a time of stress and uncertainty for our loved one. Whether during the start up and initiation period ([name removed]) during regular care, or as our loved one approached end of life, the Canterfield leadership ([name removed]) and staff were respectful and attentive. Communication from care coordination was outstanding and [name removed] in particular was exceptional and acted like an extension of our family providing our loved one with personal attention, despite her busy schedule. Her daily caregivers ([name removed] and others) were compassionate and gentle, and became even more so as her condition deteriorated. We knew multiple people that had great experiences with Canterfield and after our personal experience, we would highly recommend Canterfield for a quality, affordable experience.

Response from Canterfield of Kennesaw
September 14, 2023We truly appreciate being part of your family's journey! Thank you for trusting us with your loved one. All of our residents and their families are certainly an extension of our on family!
Everyone is friendly. A lot of activities are provided for the residents. They will do what they can to help you if you need help. Mom is in the independent living building. I have only two silly complaints, the internet and you can have all the wine you want, but can't get bottled water. Moms apartment is big enough for what she needs. She is in the 1 bedroom and it has a full kitchen and living room. They do offer storage as well.

July 14, 2023Thank you so much for trusting us with the care of your loved one. All of our residents and their families are an extension of our Canterfield and we are blessed to have the privilege to care for them.
We have an Activity Director who pays attention to the interests of our group. He plans a wide variety of offerings and his goal is take us pleased and not just busy! I am in Independent Living...my husband was in Memory Care. Both Directors successfully engage their differing participants. Kudos to [name removed] and [name removed]!!
