Kempton of Hermitage

I just finished spending months at Kempton due to a recent hip surgery. I have been unable to walk unassisted for 90 days. While at Kempton I met quite a few of the residents, all who were very friendly. At meals my table mates and I had fun and many residents would stop by to say hello, we probably had too much fun. The entire staff and management were always friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Kempton to anyone needing short or long term care. They are the most caring and helpful group of individuals. I already miss them.

Lovely (and clean) community with genuinely caring staff!

My aunt was there for several years. The staff were kind but took the quickest options for helping people. Instead of helping her maintain independence they kept her in a wheel chair when she wasn’t in bed. Lost use of her legs.

In the world of care for the elderly, patience, compassion, communication, and kindness are the keys to the kingdom. In our experience, these traits are part of the culture at Kempton of Hermitage. After my father lost his independence due to a series of medical events, and after a very disappointing experience with a nursing home, we needed to find a place that could provide the level of care he needed while also giving him a sense of privacy and independence. The first time we spoke to the staff at Kempton, we thought we might have found the right place. After visiting in person, we knew. There was no sales pitch or dog and pony show, just knowledgeable people with genuine hearts for caring for the elderly. While he was there, we were able to have the peace of mind of knowing that he was safe, cared for, and treated with respect and dignity. From their interactions with him and with other residents (both the ones we witnessed firsthand and the ones my father told us about), we could tell that they were patient, friendly, and respectful with consistency. They accommodated his needs proficiently and communicated clearly when there were problems. He was in good hands for the final year and a half of his life. On behalf of his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and entire extended family, I would like to thank Kris, Laura, Linda, Katrina, Janet, and every other talented team member at Kempton who performs such an important but underappreciated job at such a high level. We would absolutely recommend Kempton of Hermitage to any family with a loved one in need of assisted living.
