Testimonials

“From top to bottom Ellen Kennedy is the model for caring. They went above and beyond the call of duty to care for our dad. Dad had a wonderful experience living there, and we will be forever grateful to them for his treatment.”

Ron Hess

“We like everything about living here.  The arrangement and size of the condo, the underground heated garage…  We enjoy in-house card games and outside activities and outings.  The staff are very good and friendly, and ready to help when you need them.”

Tenant

"My mother lived at EKLC for many years. The care she received was phenomenal! The staff is caring, respectful and fun! They got to know her on a personal level, often stopping to play cards with her when they came to give her the nighttime meds. My mom was so happy there - and to think how she was quite hesitant to go live in an Assisted Living residence. The director, Kari Wittmeyer, makes sure every need is addressed. She also has a personal relationship with each resident! I love EKLC and I still return to see the staff although my mother has passed."

Betty Baum-Ferree

Ellen Kennedy staff goes the extra mile to get to know their residents and their families. The staff always went above and beyond to make our dad feel safe and comfortable, even adjusting care when his needs changed. They are ALL exceptional, from the director all the way down, and we consider them " family"!
