Lovely retirement home, always spotless, people here are so friendly, beautiful library with a fireplace. The staff is quite amazing in the handling of the residents there.

Dec. 2024 follow up: Almost 2 years after KB would only put mom in memory care, she is still thriving in assisted living in California. Still doesn't need help with ADLs, living in her own studio apartment, It would have been a shame to take that away from her too soon. Memory care may be in the future, but not any time soon. You know your loved one better than anyone.

A year ago, this place would only put my mom in memory care though she was mostly independent, just forgetful (diagnosed with dementia) and stressed because her husband just died. I think they didn't have enough room and pulled a bait and switch on us--told us that mom would soon need it and they didn't want to move her twice. How insensitive and what a stupid reason to put someone in memory care who isn't that far along. Mom had visited the assisted apartment several times, decorated it in her mind and was ready to move in. They waited for us to pay the $1000 application fee to tell us that she couldn't be in assisted living. They don't understand dementia at all and it was a blessing in disguise. Mom would have been so depressed and certainly would have declined. She is living near me in Beverly Hills now in assisted living where they believe in dignity and agency for people with dementia. She has the freedom to come and go as pleases. Walks the town and neighborhoods 50 minutes every day with women she organized to accompany her, shops, paints, and is thriving, may I say even improving. Don't let anyone tell you dementia/AD is the end of the world. Find a place who cares with services that understand socialization, learning, exercise, and allowing our elders do what they can with dignity. It'll change their and your life. A whole year later and mom is no where near needing being locked up in memory care and she is genuinely happy.

Have had a few loved ones in the care of KB, friends and family alike. Great institution, good staff, and an expanding campus with state of the art (and BRAND NEW) residences. The care and compassion they showed my grandmother will always be remembered. Thank you to all the staff of KB for loving our family as much as your own .

I had an appointment with my client to check out this Senior Living Center. The most gracious client advocate Joan, took us around and I was impressed with the apartments, dining room and services offered. All I can say is it's beautiful and I'd move in myself. It's like a resort. So many activities, great menus in the dining room and even exercise classes if you so choose. Thank you Joan for your time and attention and answering all of our questions.

As a resident, my husband and I are truly blessed to have found K-B House. The staff is excellent as they go above and beyond for the residents and family members. They truly treat us like royalty. The food is superb...comparable to a fine restaurant. We live in one of the independent townhouses on the beautiful grounds, and K-B delivers meals to our home piping hot and ready to eat. There is so much offered at K-B, including a garden that produces fresh vegetables that you can pop over and pick fresh. Our maintenance staff always takes the extra step as well!!! They really treat you like family here. The close-knit environment creates such a wonderful family lifestyle within our K-B Community.

The one comment I’ve constantly been hearing from the other residents is "we should have moved here sooner". The other residents are outgoing, very friendly, and the social life is fabulous.

I thought we had won the lottery when we learned that there was an opening. We submitted all the paperwork and necessary documentation, had several positive tours and interactions with staff, and then learned with 10 days to go until move in that our application was rejected with no explanation.

If I can give this facility a zero star, I wouldn't hesitate to give it. They don't care about people at all, the administrators down to the Nurses are very unprofessional. They never return calls and the receptionist is rude. No Curtsy of some sort.
