Our first weekly visit with Maverick the therapy dog (and his human Amy) was a rousing success! We're so happy that in the midst of chasing balls and monitoring the neighborhood squirrels he could make time in his busy schedule to come socialize with our residents. See you soon Maverick!

We love our local scout troops! Last week Troop 41333 (otherwise known as Noemi, Ellyana, Morgan, Zadie and Eliana, along with mom Vanessa) paid us an afternoon visit to socialize, play games, and of course share some of their famous cookies 🍪. While we can't say for sure who won all the games, it's safe to say that everyone came out winners! Can't wait to see you all again soon.

It was a full house last week when we held a special screening of the short documentary film "The Last Act," starring our very own community member, Patsy Benson.

This meaningful film, produced by Amy Benson, and edited by West Seattle resident Kristin Ougendal, highlights personal story, reflection, and connection, and was followed by a Q&A discussion with the film's producers. We are so grateful to have had this opportunity to showcase one of our special residents. ❤️

It seems only fitting that St. Patrick's Day is one of our favorite days here at The Kenney. After all, our beautiful home in the Emerald City was founded by a couple from the Emerald Isle over 100 years ago! Residents and staff enjoyed many Celtic treats this week, including a potluck at the Ballymena, an outing to O'Donnell's pub downtown, an impromptu flute duo who showed up to play us a few jigs, and of course, a few pinches for those who neglected the wearing o' the green! 🍀

Our first Open House of the year was a rousing success! We loved meeting members of our community and inviting them in to experience all that The Kenney has to offer. Chef Abiyah and her team created a delicious late lunch that provided the perfect compliment to a lovely afternoon. We'll do it again soon... stay tuned!

Our Kenney Singers, directed by Kiki Hood, are a jewel in the Kenney crown! We never know when they will bless us with a concert, but it's always a treat when they do. Monday, February 23 was one of those days. Supported by members of the Prospect Congregational Choir (Kia Sams, director), the Singers offered us a program entitled "Love is Here to Stay," which featured traditional love-themed songs. It was a belated Valentine's Day present enjoyed by everyone ❤️

By Tracy Record West Seattle Blog editor A major sign of how things have changed for The Kenney in the past 10 years: Its five-acre landscaped campus is to be certified as an arboretum - the campus that was once to be sliced and diced for an ultimately disastrous redevelopment/expansion plan.

When we talk about being family here at The Kenney we're not kidding. When Mollie lost one of the tennis balls that helps keep her moving in the right direction, she knew exactly who to call. Sure enough... within minutes Jim was there, tennis balls at the ready and Mollie was soon ready to roll. We're so grateful for residents who care about each other and are always willing to help!

Why would you want to come to our Open House?

a) I'm thinking about downsizing and I don't know where to begin.

b) I don't quite understand the different levels of senior living as they relate to my needs.

c) My parents need help trying to figure out their next move.

d) I really love historic buildings.

e) All of the above 😊

Whatever your reason, we can't wait to see you!

While The Kenney can't "officially" endorse a specific sports team for a Superbowl win this weekend, there's no rule that says we can't let our resident Ken speak for us 💚💙
