Recent reviews of Independent Living in Kensett, IA
Homestead of Mason City
4.0 / 5.0

Compared to other homes in the area they are most cost effective. In regards to my other numbers 3 is average. Could do a little more activity but being a smaller size I know they are limited with staff. Overall experience has been good so far.

Oak Park Place - Albert Lea
4.4 / 5.0

They really try and involve the community and their decorations are beautiful. The facility is very nice and clean and always decorated. As far as improving, on the memory care side, I have seen no activities with those residents. And with memory care it may be difficult, but they have puzzles on a shelf but I have never seen any open. There is very little interaction with the residents. They seem to just send everyone back to their rooms after mealtime. On the other side, assisted living side, they have several activities that residents can partake in like exercise class, bingo, a boat trip outing, but nothing in memory care.

4.8 / 5.0

This is a very good comforting place for a family member to be. The staff are very caring and helpful with my loved one. They provide good quality care.
