Very friendly staff and the residents were very happy to greet me. They were interacting with me and with each other as well. Everyone was smiling. The apartments are well situated and open, airy with a balcony or patio. Walk in showers, and a basic kitchens if you don’t want to go to the lovely dining room or have a snack from the deli. There are activities, and things to do daily without being overwhelmed including resident lead activities. A shuttle ride is available for shopping trips or d

I recently toured Cogir of Kent with [name removed], the community relations coordinator. [name removed] was friendly, understanding, and exceedingly knowledgeable. The facility was impressive, the rooms spacious and well-appointed, and the cost of care more than competitive with other assisted living facilities in the area.

Grace EFebruary 12, 2026

It was a beautiful assistant living facility but no memory care onsite. It felt like a hotel. Mom needs a lot of care and reminders. She may be a better fit in a smaller environment.

Susan TappanFebruary 5, 2026

Lovely community of welcoming staff and residents. Very helpful people.

Paul SagerJanuary 7, 2026

I have lived here for 1 1/2 years and enjoy the activities outdoors walking meals preparation. (all classes we addressed and care service.

Valerie BNovember 19, 2025

We are happy with it. They staff are helpful. I would recommend it to others who are searching for a place for their loved one. I believe they are at capacity so there may be a waiting list to get in at this point. The food is good too.

Staff is very helpful and kind. Activities are fun with chair exercises, cards, painting, movies. Large dining area. Food is very good with dessert every night. Room is very adequate, balcony off living room, large bathroom with washer dryer. Wide doorways for walkers/wheelchairs. Full size kitchen. High ceiling. Very light and bright. Hallways very wide.

Caregivers assist 24/7 with diaper needs, hoyer lifts. Med techs help with medication. Lots of great daily activities to fit different needs. Bus trips for shopping and casino days. Card games, holiday festivities, ice cream socials, live music on weekends. Many residents are seen out at coffee bar/bistro socializing. It's refreshing to see an active and happy community.

Kerry TOctober 27, 2025

Cogir of Kent has been a great place for my dad. He enjoys the food. There are multiple activities planned each day. He looks forward to the live music each week. The staff is attentive and addresses concerns promptly.

Debbie AndersonOctober 24, 2025

When I first got here I was confussed about my needs. This apartment could have been in cleaner condition. The patio still has dead bugs and cob webs all over it. The cement has gaps and debris that needs to be vacuumed and fixed. For the most part it is fine. Not sure why cabinets and the microwave are so high in design for seniors. It is warm and dry. I looked at many places. I picked this one.

JeffOctober 24, 2025

This is a great facility. They take great care of my family member they care so much and really focus on their health and happiness. I would recommend this place to anyone who needs a family member that needs assistance with the day to day issues of life

Vicki AOctober 24, 2025

Everyone is friendly, including the residents. I am often addressed by first name. The facility is open, bright and clean. While my father doesn’t take advantage of most of the outings, there are a number of them every month.

Matt DOctober 24, 2025

Brighter and more open from the lobby to the hallways. Mom has loved living here and I actually enjoy visiting her here. The costs are always going up as they are most places but it’s seems like it’s worth it at this location.

Concerned AmericanOctober 23, 2025

I have looked in many retirement homes my mother-in-law is staying at a different one but this one was the best people dining atmosphere you name it. it is the best. COGIR!!

RickSeptember 26, 2025

Very nice. Staff were extremely helpful and they made the transition for my uncle as smooth as possible. Good communication after he moved in. Ended up being too expensive for my uncle but he enjoyed his time there. 5 out of 5

Fei HeSeptember 16, 2025

A wonderful retirement community—I visited today, and the staff were very patient and welcoming.

Imelda Santa CruzSeptember 2, 2025

Sherral Carpio, the front office even the Excuttive Director- Monica Rangel have been very friendly, compassionate, listen to our situation to make us feel at ease in preparing for my husband moving into their care. I sincerely THANK YOU everyone for the warm, friendly and comfortable environment for my husband and family. Lastly, Kudos to Sherral!!! Mel SC.

Jill KeenerAugust 19, 2025

Fantastic care,which is really the most important thing. Bernard is amazing as is the entire care staff. Mario and Jenn at the front desk are helpful and kind. I only give it 4 stars due to long hallways and needing more senior activities.

Kraig FisherJune 22, 2025

It is a great facility. My dad has been there for 2 years now I think. He is doing great. They take good care of him. The facility is very clean I have eaten there a couple times and the food is pretty decent.

Douglas IMay 14, 2025

Cogir of Kent has been a very pleasant experience for my mom. The staff is quite professional, knowledgeable, and very responsive when something is needed. Meals are prepared with care and compassion. The chefs are willing to work with the residents specific dietary restrictions and bend over backwards to accommodate everyone! I highly recommend if you have a loved one looking for Senior Assisted or Independent living this is the place to be!

Deanna SApril 14, 2025

I have been here almost 3 weeks now and am really enjoying several things about it. It's a newer facility and so the all of the fixtures are still new. The staff are all incredibly nice and the food is excellent. I am looking forward to a long stay.

ValerieApril 11, 2025

What we like the most about Cogir of Kent is that It's very clean, the staff are exceptionally nice, the food's good. Mom has the usual grumbles, but after working in skilled nursing facility, she doesn't know how good she has it! Yes, we would recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have had so far.

LPApril 3, 2025

The food has a wide variety to choose from and there are no cost for meals as there is in some place. The lighting in this building is fantastic. Each apartment is light and airy. The grounds are well maintained. There are plenty of social activities. Great staff. Secure building. Transportation Friday night social hour with entertainment.

Friitzi TaylorMarch 21, 2025

I have been in this community for 9 months. I like the privacy most of all. The cleanliness and the food selection are both excellent. My daily walk around the building totally unencumbered is wonderful. Last, but not least, COGIR is a community of caring individuals. Most residents care about each other and their daily well-being. I enjoy living here. ,

ReneeMarch 11, 2025

This was a great experience! 5/5 stars! Friendly, helpful, feel like mom in good hands, safe environment! Beautiful and clean facility!

Sherry BMarch 3, 2025

The facility is designed as a Condominium with all the amenities. My brother works down the street and had no idea Cogir Kent is an assisted living facility. They have Concierges, the rooms are designed as individual Condos, some even have patios. The common areas are individualized and comfy. There is a Bistro, dining area, gym, a large patio with grills and seating. They also have a full service barber and beauty shop. Cogir Kent is truly a community. All the staff know their residents and fam

My granddaughter and I were visiting a friend who had recently moved in. Given the abundance of activities, beautiful decor, and vibrant presence, I can say with certainty that when it is my time to move, this community will be at the top of my list!

Jenny HDecember 18, 2024

I have been here 1 yr on [date removed] lived at a different senior living for 4 yrs. This place now is a 10 to me! Everywhere has issues but here they are hear and not taken lightly!

Shar BrownDecember 12, 2024

This community has been great for my mom. We moved her from her own apartment to the Cogir. She has made a lot of friends and is more active. The staff is wonderful and very nice to all of the residents.

AnonymousNovember 30, 2024

Tour facility, everyone was so friendly. The décor is beautiful. The exercise room, movie theater, and private dining, great feature for residents.

James CNovember 19, 2024

Cogir of Kent is a warm and welcoming community that truly feels like home. The staff is incredibly caring, attentive, and always go the extra mile to ensure residents are comfortable and well-supported. The environment is clean, beautifully maintained, and offers a wide range of activities that keep everyone engaged and connected. If you're looking for a community where residents are truly cared for and encouraged to live their best lives, Cogir of Kent is a wonderful choice.

Marie MeadowsNovember 8, 2024

"Cogir" even the art on the wall is excellent. They seem to celebrate All Occasions. What my mom loves. The employees seem to be happy working at their jobs. Especially [name removed]. Who runs the front desk. We give him a 10

AnonymousOctober 28, 2024

In our experience one of the big challenges for senior living facilities is staffing. Cogir of Kent is well-staffed and seems to treat staff members very well because there has been very little turnover so far amongst the management and/or care personnel. The facility is quite new and feels very spacious and upscale even though the cost is very much in line with others in the area.

AnonymousAugust 14, 2024

The staff are responsive if a problem arises. [name removed] at the front desk is amazing with a smile and a welcoming greeting as you walk in. He creates relationship with residents and their families. [name removed] , the nurse is responsive when there are concerns and they are addressed in a reasonable timeframe. Most of the care staff are friendly and competent. There has been a lot of turnover with care staff, which is typical in this industry. My Mom feels safe and her needs are met. She

S R SJuly 24, 2024

Cogir of Kent staff gave us a great tour, easily answered questions, and made my dad feel welcome. The staff are very friendly, the facility is very clean and has a lot of safety features. My dad especially likes the outdoor sitting areas and the craft room. They also made his move in very easy, and kept in contact with us while we put his house up for sale.

Don24July 8, 2024

We toured Cogir of Kent. It's very clean and very organized. The artwork was on the walls and the facility was very nice. We had no issues whatsoever with the facility itself. All of the staff was very friendly. We spoke with several residents and the staff. They were knowledgeable and easy to talk to. We had lunch there and the food was good. It was cafeteria style. The only downside was they do have staff turnover as far as the kitchen staff. The facility is relatively new. It's only

Very good and well presented (information).

Stephanie MMay 29, 2024

This community has a beautiful welcoming feeling from when you first walk in to the bulding itself. Competitively fair priced & Outstandingly wide range of features and amenities. I would love my parents to live here.

CarolMay 6, 2024

I went to Cogir of Kent. I thought the building was well-kept and the food was good. The people were very welcoming. The person who gave us the tour was extremely helpful and very nice. They took a lot of time to answer our questions without being too pushy. The dining area was centrally located, clean, and spacious.

KennethApril 30, 2024

Cogir of Kent was very good, but it was a distance from my house. The tour was very good. They had the same setup as the other place. They showed me a studio apartment. The staff was very nice. There was one person that led me around. I was so amazed that I didn't pay too much attention. I didn't realize that any place could be that nice.

AnonymousApril 29, 2024

I would have to rate a 5 to all the categories that are listed. We are overall very pleased with Cogir. We really like the whole idea of our parents being in an environment that is geared towards their needs.

AnonymousMarch 15, 2024

My dad is a resident at Cogir of Kent and the experience has been very good for him, overall. While my dad is fully independent, if he needed more care, it is available. A maid comes in for a weekly clean. She gets everything in order while he's at breakfast. They have residents wear a monitoring device, which gives everyone peace of mind in case of an accident. The facility also weighs residents monthly to make sure that they are thriving. They have medical staff to help dispense medication, if

AnonymousMarch 12, 2024

I would say the residents and most of the staff are very friendly and concerned about each other. Take the time and initiative to get to know as many people as possible. The building is beautiful, and the food is very good. As far as recommendations, I think more healthy variety in the menu is needed as well as better training and organization in the dining room.

Kristine RJanuary 13, 2024

I had a great experience with the staff, especially considering what a stressful situation we were in. They were very supportive and kind. Also they adapted very quickly with changes in care for our rapidly changing situation.

MadeleineJanuary 9, 2024

Cogir of Kent was the one that we would have chosen for my friend. What we liked best about it was the warm welcome, this beautiful room, and the amenities that were in that room, and just the feel of it. It's a studio, but it had really tall ceilings. It was beautifully appointed. It had a washer and dryer in the unit, as well as a full kitchen, oven, and dishwasher. We saw the independent living at this time, but with the availability of more care should she need it. Every unit had its ow

CarolDecember 22, 2023

When I visited this home, it did feel like a real home I could see myself living at and enjoying the people and activities. The people who worked there were so friendly and helpful. The activities that they had for the guests were lots of fun and very enjoyable. I have eaten there and the food was so, so good like eating at a fashionable, high scale restaurant with lots of very friendly people taking care of you. I have looked at many senior homes and by far this is the best. I'm not quite r

SHayesDecember 22, 2023

Navigating this process for my mom is very stressful. I made the appointment at Cogir thanks to a friend who helped one of his clients move there. After I reached out to make an appointment, [name removed] reached out to confirm with her welcoming voice. She was (is!) so kind and patient. When I got to my appointment, I was taken in by how beautiful the facility is and smiles from those who work reception. On the tour, residents and employees waved and smiled at Sherrel. She knew all their nam

AnonymousDecember 16, 2023

It's the best value for their money. We chose Cogir over the others because we watched it being built and every time Dad said "I wish I could live there." Once we toured, he didn't want to look elsewhere. Questions of residents were always positive, and my sister agreeing was definitely an added bonus!

Kristen December 15, 2023

Honestly. Cogir of Kent community hit a 5 on everything. My mom actually passed away 10 days after she arrived. So my experiences ended [date removed] . This community was a solid 5 whilst she was there.

FMNovember 16, 2023

It is a really nice place and the unit she got was in our price range it is a newer facility. I would recommend because the staff goes out of their way to accommodate you.

Shari September 26, 2023

My interaction/communication with the staff has been very good. I would suggest a friend, consider moving here. We picked this community because of better pricing and a newer building.

AnonymousAugust 28, 2023

[name removed], the marketing director was very helpful, listened to our concerns and needs, and offered flexible support. The care staff is friendly and responsive for the most part. We have had some instances where long response time has resulted in missed lunch or bathroom accidents. I believe the facility is growing and more staff is needed. [name removed], at the front desk, greets you with a smile and creates a welcoming environment. He responds to concerns and is very helpful. Overall

SheilaJune 27, 2023

My loved one is a resident at Cogir of Kent and everything has been great for him at this facility. It's a beautiful place visually that is tastefully decorated with a variety of artwork. The food is excellent and there is plenty of variety. They offer lots of activities. I would definitely recommend this facility to family and friends.

AnonymousJune 5, 2023

It's been an easy move. Staff helped with suggestions for movers. It's close to restaurants for a night out. And my dad seems happy there. Just wish the kitchen didn't close at 6 pm. Also on entertainment - while inviting other groups to the monthly events can be fun, it can also be overwhelming for the residents.

Raena January 24, 2023

Cadence of Kent is just what the local community needs. [name removed] and [name removed] made us feel so welcome when we toured, and the residents were engaged and happy everywhere we looked! Their approach to modern aging is refreshing and forward thinking; and the apartments are beautiful and spacious.

RosieJanuary 13, 2023

I toured Cadence at Kent-Meridian. I loved everything about it. The rooms were nice. I saw the studio room and the one bedroom. They had the washer/dryer in there. They had a full kitchen if that's what you wanted. The people have been very lovely and friendly, even the residents. They would recommend you to come to live there because they have been there for a while, and so they understand perfectly how it works. The staff was very thorough and gave me a wonderful experience there. You hav

Patty Jo January 3, 2023

The entire community was classy and well maintained and updated. I would want my parents to live there, or myself. I did not eat or participate in any activities but the menu selection and activites looked great.

Tom December 30, 2022

My wife gave me a list of five Assisted Living residences to check out in the area. I made calls and visited them. Wow! When I visited Cadence it just had a different feel. Friendly, new, fresh, open, and just plain right. I then had my sister visit and luckily she had my mom along with her. They loved it, too. First impressions are one thing, but real life is what matters. My mom had some health issues that came up shortly after she moved in. The attentiveness, compassion, and excellent com

Holly CaulpetzerDecember 29, 2022

Beautiful new community shines with ammenities, special touches and warm friendly staff. The rooms are bright, fresh and so pretty. Its a nice place to enjoy visiting loved ones while taking in the high ceilings, lots of natural light and variety of foods.

Marc CDecember 29, 2022

We came for a resident event and to see the facility. The outside of the building and the grounds are very neat and well kept. We were given a tour inside and the facility is gorgeous. The resident units are spacious and very modern. The main area and dining room were immaculate. The event we attended had food prepared by the kitchen and it was delicious. The staff is amazing and so friendly.

Karmen KDecember 29, 2022

I have the pleasure of partnering with Cadence and their residents as the Home Care liaison for TheKey. I can’t say enough about Cadence of Kent-Meridian. This is an outstanding community not only because it’s beautiful and unique, it is simply because the management team and staff go above and beyond for their residents. If they would let me move in, I would sell my home and live my best life. Unfortunately I have to wait a few more years to qualify. Until then, I have the privilege of working

CrystalDecember 29, 2022

I have been to Cadence multiple times for events that they have had, the staff there is great and very presentable. there is not a time I went by and was not greeted by someone. I have also had the opportunity to talk to some residents there and they seem so happy. One thing I love is when the seniors are treated with dignity and respect. This is the place.

Yolanda ADecember 27, 2022

I had no idea where I wanted to put my mom and this was the second person that came to visit. The staff here was absolutely amazing. My mother has never been as happy as you few years. She enjoys the people everyone here is really nice and friendly. The staff is very accommodating for her disability, and I have made sure all of her needs have been taken care of. I appreciate them more than they would ever know. To see my mom happy brings me so much joy.

Margaret LDecember 23, 2022

My husband tripped over his feet at home, fell, and if my daughter hadn't been visiting, I would have needed outside help. I love traveling with friends so what a blessing to move here and know I can travel and my husband has access to the care he might need. And, it is such a lovely and loving community. I love it here and am trying to find negatives to be a balanced review...not enough salt in the delicious meals! ??

Lilly KDecember 23, 2022

I have met nice people and most of the employees are really friendly. Some go above and beyond and don’t make you feel like a problem. They do not make me feel guilty for needing help. Best place to be!

Don LDecember 23, 2022

Cadence at Kent-Meridian is a delightful place to reside. It has a professional, attentive staff who listen to our wants and needs and make what changes they can accordingly. Our chef prepares tasty and varied menus, and made-to-order dishes are available, too. The facility is new, sunny, and pleasant. Our activities director works tirelessly to ensure we are engaged mentally and physically, and have plenty of opportunities to have fellowship with other residents and the community. Seasonal cel

My mom moved in [date removed] and everyone has been wonderful from the tour guide, reception, nurses, directors, activity planner, people, care team, restaurant staff, etc! Cadence is new and growing. Everything is light, fresh and beautiful! Thank you for making my mom’s new home a loving one!

JudyOctober 15, 2022

I toured Cadence at Kent-Meridian. It is beautiful. It is brand-new. They have been very open with everything. My problem is that it is too expensive. They serve beautiful food. I have been there on several occasions where they served luncheons. They are very centered on helping the seniors. I tried the food on several occasions. There was one occasion that they called me and delivered food to my home. It was delicious. I could order off of the menu, and they had a wide variety of food. Everythi
