Can Kennybrook Village care for someone with dementia?
Kennybrook Village holds a general assisted living certificate rather than a dementia-specific one, so it may serve tenants with mild cognitive impairment but must transfer anyone whose needs exceed its disclosed criteria or Iowa's retention limits.
Ask how the program responds to wandering or night-time confusion, and at what point it would issue a transfer notice. The closest dementia-specific programs are Maggie's Place at Kennybrook Village (0.4 mi), StoryPoint Timberline (memory care) (3.7 mi), Meadowview of Johnston MC (4.4 mi).
What enforcement history does DIAL show for Kennybrook Village?
No. DIAL's Assessed Fines Report shows no state fine for Kennybrook Village from any visit that ended between January 2023 to November 2026.
A clean fines record means no penalty-level findings in that window. Ordinary regulatory insufficiencies are fixed through a written plan of correction that the fines report never shows.

- Take the occupancy agreement home and read its fee schedule, service list and transfer criteria before signing.
- Ask which conditions would trigger a transfer, beyond Iowa's list, since programs may add criteria if they disclose them in the agreement.
