On Labor Day I witnessed a nurse rudely disrespecting an Aide talking to her like a child in the common area. I now understand why I see a big turnover of staff. They are always short staff and the new employees don’t seem to last a month. Just sad for the residents.
I love Kemper House. I take my mom there for the day program twice a week. She loves to go on Tuesday and Thursday afternoon because the chef is there and he lets her help. Some days she doesn’t want to go because she feels she doesn’t know what she is doing but as soon as she walks in the staff greets her such warmth and big smiles she lights right up! It makes me feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders and brings out the mom that I know is still in there. We had to redo our budget but it’s worth every penny to see how she responds. Everyone there is caring, friendly and extremely sensitive to our situation. I honestly don’t know what I would do without Kemper House!
My mom was at Kemper House for only 1 month before she passed away. The staff there was so kind and caring. I could not have asked for a more understanding and wonderful staff to care for my mom in her final days.
My dad was at Kemper for one month before he died. My mom was there with him and she stayed at Kemper until she died in about two years. In my opinion,this is a high quality of care facility
We found Kemper House for Mom two years ago when assisted living became too difficult for her. Was it our choice to move her to Kemper House? We had to acknowledge her dementia. Are we happy that she is at Kemper? We could not be more certain that she has landed in the right place. We are happy with the living accommodations , daily activities, medical care and careful dietary choices. Best of all is a staff who cares and keeps us informed! We highly recommend Kemper House as a home for your loved ones who suffer from dementia or Alzheimer's disease.
The staff goes above and beyond for each resident. They are all attentive to the needs of each individual. I am so glad they are available for excellent care for those in need.
We have a friend who is a resident at Kemper House and we have had several family members who have lived there in the past. The staff is always friendly and caring and they keep the residents engaged and happy. We have always appreciated the loving care that has been shown to our family and friends.
I have had 3 family members that have lived at Kemper House over the years, we had a very good experience and the Kemper Family does seem to really care and go above and beyond to make sure the residents are well cared for. They understand the unique needs that dementia and Alzheimer's disease present and handle it well.
Was very pleased with the staff while my mom resided here for almost two years. I have since volunteered, and now on staff. My heart is and has been to help others on their journey.
Kemper House is truly unique in their approach to residents with memory difficulties. They believe in enriching their lives through activities, music, exercise, and social interactions. My mom has been receiving excellent care there for the past 2.5 years.
Great place! The Kemper Family has such high standards of care, its hard to find a better place than this for a loved one with dementia! I had a family member here and have worked here for 16 years!
Kemper House is truly amazing. They were very welcoming from the day we walked in. They’ve been there with us through thick and thin for our family, provide amazing care for our parents and support for our family. They communicate very well to keep you informed. The facilities are very clean and comfortable. The activities they provide are interactive and fun, they provide a healthy well-balanced diet and we could not be happier with our parents care. They have been accommodating to our parents needs since they have different levels of care. Kathy Kemper is very kind-hearted, compassionate and supportive. The entire staff, chefs and nurses are outstanding and go above and beyond, they are all so friendly, generous and caring and the level of care they provide is absolutely amazing. They truly care about their residents and families.
From the moment we toured at Kemper we knew this is where we wanted our beloved father to live. My sister and I are both nurses and we b became emotional having sensed the warmth and uniqueness of this home immediately. The staff is the star of this show! We came every day at all different times. We only ever witnessed caring, skilled actually loving people interacting not only with my dad but with all the other people.Quickly attending to their needs. My dad was always neat and clean and looking cared for.The recreational staff were amazing, energetic and creative. There were many rec opportunities every day. The food is chef prepared and so fresh and healthy. The environment inside is spotless and there is so much attention to detail that serves to underscore how they care for their residents AND the families. From the sunflowers that greet you outside to the fresh fruited water and coffee inside along with the cheery staff at the front desk. One incredibly awesome thing they do is sponsor family nights where they provide a wonderful dinner for family members and create a party atmosphere. We also held my dad’s 95th birthday party in a lovely room they have and again they went above and beyond to help make his last birthday wonderful! My dad recently passed away and the staff could not have been more loving, comforting and supportive as we brought him home for his final days. Honestly I can’t say enough about these people and this place. Look no further….
My Dear Dad just passed away last week. He had spent many years at Kemper House. I cannot say enough about how wonderful his care was. It's true, the staff really considered my dad and all residents as part of their family. The staff is plentiful. The have skilled chefs that supply the delicious daily meals. If a resident was unable to feed themselves ,there was always someone available to feed them. No one was left hungry. There are daily activities. Residents are kept busy. They also are taken on bus rides through the park etc. Family events are held throughout the year. At any given time you can visit and see that all things are peaceful and under control. Even through Covid, they made sure we could see our loved ones through window visits. If there was any medical issue Kemper staff was right on top of things,letting us know if we needed to address any issues. Over many years I got to know many of the staff by name. One thing I appreciated was the fact I could be at peace and assured that my Dad was in good hands.If anyone is thinking about bringing your loved one hear, you don't need to worry. This is without a doubt your best choice. I had checked out many other facilities. None match this one. I walked in and was immediately sure I wanted my dad to be here.
Our Mother was a resident at Kemper House for over 2 yrs and unfortunately passed away 2 weeks ago. Our family felt very fortunate to have her at their facility...many of the nurses and caregivers became like family themselves and we always enjoyed and appreciated the time we shared together! They have always treated our mom like their own and we were blessed to have met such a great group of caring people...I would highly recommend them! Thank you Kemper for going through her journey with us, she will be deeply missed! 💗~Gaishauser Family of Ella aka Oma
You won't find a better facility for your loved one than Kemper House. Everyone there is involved and cares for the residents - from the owner to the dietary staff. We never had to wonder or worry about the health and safety of my aunt during her time here, and are forever grateful for their services.
Kemper House is a special place. My mom has been at Kemper House since last November and we feel she is so much safer at Kemper than she was at home. We have found everyone there to be very caring and staff go out of their way to connect with residents and family. They always have outings and activities going on, plenty of dogs visiting and overall a very enriching and safe environment for a loved one with dementia.
Words cannot express the gratitude that we have for Kemper House and their staff. They truly care about residents and their families. While mom was a resident there, she was safe, well taken care of and engaged with many wonderful activities and outings. They provided peace of mind for our family during a difficult time. It takes special people to care for a person that suffers from dementia /Alzheimer’s and the caregivers and staff at Kemper House are compassionate and understanding of the disease. I would recommend Kemper to anyone seeking memory care.
Kemper is a very family oriented atmosphere! Every one looks out for each resident and each other! I know my family member will be loved and cared for here !! Thanks for everything you guys all do ! ♥️♥️
Kemper House staff and its Owner genuinely cares about their residents. My family’s personal experience has been one of comfort, care, community, safety and love. The Owner visited our mom in the hospital recently, despite the fact that mom had been admitted for RSV and may have been contagious. It is also very clear to our family that the aides truly care and get to know the residents. Thank you, Kemper House. You have turned this difficult time into a positve journey for all.
I can't say enough about the care given to the residents at this home-like facility! Kemper House and its employees are the best. They have integrity, honesty and genuine compassion for the folks in their care. They addressed, in a timely manner, any concerns we had for our loved one. Having to also deal with all the COVID issues at the same was very stressful, but, we were somewhat comforted knowing the staff was caring for our father in the same lovingkindness as we would have. If a long term, dementia care facility becomes one of your options, you would be wise to research Kemper House. This will be your choice in the end. Thank you so much to these wonderful folks who have become friends to our family.
Today my dad, Denver Lovejoy, passed away at Kemper. He’s been a resident almost 5 years. The staff at Kemper in Strongsville have loved on both dad and my mom. They gave him a life and an extended family. He bowled at age 91 for the first time in his life. He called out Bingo numbers. He shucked corn and felt needed. He loved his bus rides and those donuts. It took stress off my mom to know how well he was cared for. Thank you Kemper House!!
My loved one has been at Kemper House for over a year. I have been very, very pleased with the attention/care he has received. I also appreciate the staffs' good communication with me, especially if he seems unwell. Sometimes my loved tells me that staff is kind. At other times, I ask him and he always has positive responses about his care.
My husband has been at Kemper House Strongsville for the past year and a half. The compassionate care he gets there is a peace of mind for me. Kathy and the staff are so attentive and provide the most helpful environment for his daily life.The facility is clean, safe and the food is very well prepared with good balanced nutrition in mind.I just returned from a picnic field trip with them and everyone certainly had fun.

I cannot say enough about Kathy and Kemper House in caring for my sister. Me and my wife own an Assisted Care Home in Southern California and we know if they are doing a excellent job. I take my hat off to Kathy hands on with my sister Marylin and holding her hand so not to be alone in the last hours. She really went the extra mile. If you are looking for the best number one is care and this is the place. 10 +++++++Paul KramerCalifornia

Kemper House, Ohio is hands down, the gold standard of Senior Care in the country. It is family run, and the management and staff truly care about making each day the best day for its residents. There are 2 facilities, and management is hands on and visible to the residents, the staff and the families. It is clean, smells great and decorated so homey. Residents thrive in an environment with daily enrichment, like tending to the chickens or helping in the kitchen. Since we live far away, we only visit once a year, but are greeted by name and assisted in anything we need. Kathy Busch, who owns and runs it, is a phenom. The regular Facebook photos and updates are so appreciated. Our family members has been there for 5 years, and observe how difficult the residents can be. No matter, the staff is well trained and, while doing their days work, hug them and distract them from their worries. We have parents living in CA in a different "well -regarded" senior residence, and the difference in experience is staggering.
My father lived at Kemper House for approximately 9 months. Our family was quite impressed by the quality of care, compassion of the staff, and their willingness to go above and beyond. The activities and engagement with residents exceeded our expectations. The facility was always clean, and the food (made from scratch) was healthy and tasted great. We were relieved that Kemper confidently wanted My dad to live there as long as possible. When his conditioned worsened after a hospital stay we were able to bring him back to Kemper with hospice care in place. In our time of great need, Kemper House was there for us. We will forever be grateful for KH, and only wish we would have gotten him there sooner.
My brother-in-law was at Kemper House for over 2 years. During that time l saw compassion from every single employee, whether it be nurses, caregivers, administration, maintenance staff or life enrichment. They learned about his hobbies and likes and incorporated these in his daily care. The maintenance staff took a special liking to him (he was an engineer) and asked him to join them as they did routine tasks, this was huge and gave him purpose. Kemper House works closely with the families to make sure all their concerns for their loved ones are met. It takes a very special person to love and care for people with dementia, Kemper House has found them and have trained them in all ways on how to care for the residents. Kemper House is unique in it’s extraordinary care of all their residents.
My husband was a resident at Kemper House Strongsville for 2 1/2 years. As expected, the facility was clean, the food was healthy and delicious, the rooms have a homelike atmosphere and the staff is kind, compassionate, attentive and always available.Kemper House is special and unique in their care of people who suffer with the many types of dementia. Every minute of everyday the management, nurses, caregivers, life enrichment, food service, laundry and maintenance staff emphasize highly individualized, person-centered care. Their philosophy of care is built around the needs of the individual "resident-focused" is the core with love at the center surrounded by comfort, self-esteem, identity, respect and dignity. My husband's feelings were always validated and he had a sense of community. His quality of life and quality of care was extraordinary.
Kemper House Strongsville is a family-oriented and caring place - well-led by the Kemper family and supportive of the tough journey of life impacted by dementia and memory loss. The leadership/administration truly care about the family and residents receive compassionate care. Cleanliness is never a concern.
Placing my dad at Kemper House was an extremely hard decision, but it was also our best decision. The staff is absolutely incredible. They truly care, not only for the residents, but also for the families. Each time they walk through those doors … they love, they care and they bring smiles. Kemper House was able to give my mom peace of mind that my dad is always cared for … giving that peace of mind to her and caring so deeply for my dad ~ is priceless.
Both of my parents spent some time at Kemper House. It was so reassuring that they were not only well taken care of but treated with the utmost respect. Every staff member we ever came in contact with was very kind and sensitive to our needs. I am thankful that my parents were at such a place that gave more of a feel of being home than at some facility. I would HIGHLY recommend Kemper House if your parent is suffering from Dementia or Alzheimer's. I cannot say enough great things about Kemper House!
