The Kenney is announcing today that its CEO, Kevin McFeely, is leaving for a new job, leading The Hearthstone in North Seattle.

He has led the continuing-care community north of Lincoln Park for almost a decade, and told us, in an interview at The Kenney (WSB sponsor) this morning, that he has “mixed feelings” about leaving his “extended family” there – both the 200 residents and the staff, including his dozen-plus-member leadership team, but the move feels like “the next logistical step” for him.

One thing they’re doing at Hearthstone that is not happening right now at The Kenney: Expanding.

McFeely says his new employer is building a new campus with new apartments blocks away from its current one, while The Kenney’s redevelopment plan is on hold, after a challenging 3-year process.

The Kenney’s plan isn’t dead, McFeely stresses, just on the shelf till the economy improves – and remember, that’s a scaled-down plan, not the bigger proposal that first came to light in summer 2008.

What began as the Samuel and Jessie Kenney Presbyterian Retirement Home has advanced in other ways during McFeely’s tenure, even though the redevelopment plan was halted. We asked him about the accomplishments of which he’s most proud, and he ticked off, in no particular order, a list starting with the recently opened Memory Care Unit – “I’m very proud of that.”

On the other end of the “continuum of care,” he says, “We’re allowing people to age in place and age in place well” – no longer are there so few options that you might wind up in a “nursing home” when you have a lot of vitality left. Also to that point, he is proud of activity programming that has grown in scope and frequency, with residents sometimes even “complain(ing) there’s so much to choose from.”

The Kenney, he says, also has options for those whose finances are more limited, to live in a less-expensive part of the complex, while “receiving the same services.” And he says they have flexibility in choosing services – “you don’t have to go to every meal; some people are out all day and just want to make a cup of soup (in their apartment) at night, and be happy.”

There’ve been upgrades to apartments, he notes, to the point where you might enter a building that’s more than half a century old and never know that by what you see in the apartment.

And he’s proud to have integrated The Kenney into the community more than it had been before, including participation in the West Seattle Art Walk.

But overall, again, he says, “I am very proud of the team … they understand seniors. I’m very happy with them and sad to leave them.”

We asked him about any reflections on the process that ultimately led to the shelving of the redevelopment proposal. “It was hard,” he acknowledges. “I can appreciate all the community concern about the size and scope of it – but the comments were good; that helped us come back and put together a better project, better for us and for the community as well. We want to be a good neighbor; we want everybody to be happy. I’m sorry we didn’t get to bring it to reality, but it’s not dead … I think we can make it work (eventually) in a scaled-back version.”

McFeely and his family, including his 12-year-old daughter and 9-year-old son, had just moved to West Seattle from Bellevue a year ago. But he says they’re not leaving, even though his career is moving north. When he started telling people last week about his new job, he says, his son’s Pony Baseball coach was worried the family might be moving out of the area.

Not only does his son play – McFeely umpires. (And he has a bit of a black eye to show for it, after getting hit during a Thursday night game!)

He has other community obligations, too, with local service organizations and boards.

“I’m not going anywhere,” he said, other than changing jobs – “I’ll still be around. … I just want to thank the community; it’s been supportive of the organization, and of me.”

His final day at The Kenney is scheduled to be July 3rd, and then, after the Independence Day holiday, he starts at Hearthstone on July 5th.

It was an intergenerational event at The Kenney (WSB sponsor) during Saturday’s annual Kenney Foundation Champagne Brunch/Auction, raising money for the Life Care Fund, helping residents stay on if they outlive their financial resources. Above, you see The Ellis Trio, whose members played jazz, while, for adult guests, the promised champagne awaited:

With late-morning sun spilling through the windows, a tropical mood was enhanced by the leis toted by Dave Salove of Forest Lawn (WSB sponsor), who chairs the foundation’s board:

This was the sixth annual Champagne Brunch, also featuring a silent auction and keynote speaker Nick Del Calzo, whose most recent claim to fame is his his “Medal of Honor” photography. Miss the brunch? You can donate online.

A new unit at The Kenney (WSB sponsor) is now open, and was shown off at an open house tonight. The Memory Care Community was once part of a major redevelopment plan; though much of the plan was shelved, The Kenney saw a need to offer this as part of its “continuum of care” philosophy, and continued with the project.

There are 16 beds in the Memory Care Community – with residents about to start moving in – and they’re part of either private or shared apartments, as well as a dining/activity room:

Residents will have use of a courtyard, too.

As noted in The Kenney’s announcement, the design and decor were chosen for a sense of serenity. It’s not just the facility, though; The Kenney is staffing it around the clock with what they describe as “certified nursing assistants with specialized dementia training,” and special programming and activities are planned.

For the past few months, The Kenney campus has been bustling with activity from construction workers and architects engineering the new Memory Care Community. With excitement and anticipation, this latest addition will be welcoming its first resident on January 20, 2012.

“We are very pleased with how the area is coming together,” says Karlene Colletti, Director of Memory Care. “From the warmth of the paint colors, to the textures of the décor, to the accessibility of the rooms and community spaces – it is going to be an amazing addition to The Kenney campus.”

The Memory Care Community will offer 16 beds in both private and shared apartments, an outdoor garden, a large dining and activity room, a private shower room and a family room. Every detail of the area was completed keeping in mind the ability of residents with dementia who will use this space day in and day out.

“Every effort has been made to enhance the community with natural colors and lighting to encourage a sense of serenity” says Karlene. “The wide hallways make it safe and easy for ambulation, and the garden area will allow for safe strolls, gardening and general enjoyment of the outdoors.”

One of the most important aspects of memory care is programming, and The Kenney is proud to use a collaborative approach to maximize the quality of life for each resident. The innovative programming allows the caregivers to provide uniquely designed care for each resident. Small group activities, nutritious meals and special reminiscing programs will activate the senses and encourage normalcy.

“We will work with residents and their families to obtain a portrait of the resident; past present and future,” says Karlene. “A main approach in this is using validation therapy, working with the individuals needs here and now. As the care requirements of an individual with Alzheimer’s or dementia can change day to day, our program will be established to meet those needs in the best way possible.”

The Memory Care Community will be staffed 24-hours a day by certified nursing assistants with specialized dementia training, hand picked for their ability to understand and work with people with memory issues. The staff will provide an atmosphere of acceptance and a “never say no” attitude.

The public will have a chance to view the new Memory Care Community at an Open House held on January 26th from 3:30 to 6:30 pm. The Open House will include tours of the new area, refreshments and live music. Please call 206-937-2800 to RSVP.

The Kenney is West Seattle’s only continuing care retirement community. In 1909 The Kenney opened its doors for senior housing and now offers independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing and memory care on campus. Visit www.thekenney.org or call 206-937-2800 for more information.

Today we welcome a new sponsor, The Kenney, West Seattle’s original senior-living community. If you or a loved one is looking for a place where you can get a little help with such things as managing your medications, bathing and dressing, meal or activity reminders, The Kenney would like you to know that they have been providing that kind of care for a little over a century.

Here’s what else they would like you to know: At The Kenney, we provide life how it’s supposed to be lived. Here, we’re all about community – staying active, making new friends, loving life – while also serving each resident’s unique and individual needs. You’ll live each day to the fullest at The Kenney, secure in the knowledge that you’ll be cared for, in good health or poor health, for the rest of your life. Whether you join our community in independent living, assisted living, or our nursing and rehab center, you’ll be able to access all lifestyles at The Kenney if and when you need them. As a not-for-profit community, our only priorities are our residents’ comfort, security and care. Our revenue is used to enrich the lives of the people who live here, not to pay investors. And, we have a better staff-to-resident ratio than most for-profit retirement communities. That’s the not-for-profit difference. As resident Gisela Schultz says, “The Kenney feels like a tight-knit family, and best of all, I don’t have to worry about home repairs and yard work. I wish I had moved here ten years ago!”

The Kenney‘s staff belong to the West Seattle Chamber of Commerce, the West Seattle Champions BNI Group, and Aging Services of Washington. On the Web, you’ll find The Kenney at thekenney.org; on Facebook, they’re here. They’re at 7125 Fauntleroy Way, 206-937-2800.

We thank The Kenney for sponsoring independent, community-collaborative neighborhood news on WSB; find our current sponsor team listed in directory format here, and find info on joining the team by going here.

It’s been three years since the historic West Seattle retirement complex known as The Kenney first went public with an ambitious – and controversial – plan to redevelop much of its Fauntleroy Way campus and dramatically expand its capacity. (WSB broke the story in August 2008 – here’s our first report.) The plan has undergone a variety of changes along the way – with myriad community meetings, both part of the official process, and part of the organization seeking feedback. Last summer, The Kenney had told us the plan was in “retooling mode”; but now, most of the plan is being shelved, at least for a few years, according to this announcement just in from The Kenney management:

(Today) The Kenney will remove the four Notice of Proposed Land Use Action signs that line the perimeter of their campus.

“There are a couple of issues,” says Kevin McFeely, President and CEO of The Kenney. “For one, there’s a new economic reality we’re facing that people are having a much harder time selling their home; something that’s concurrent with moving into a retirement community. Second, it’s much tougher to find lenders for new building projects. As we looked at this project we realized the need to scale down the redevelopment plan to continue to reach the needs of our current residents, our future residents and our neighbors.”

The focus for The Kenney will be on how to improve their current campus and programs. “The people that are inquiring into The Kenney are of a different mindset than those we’ve seen in the past,” says McFeely. “They want choices of programs and amenities, smaller but more efficient use of space apartments and options for various lifestyles. We’ve decided to concentrate on upgrading the infrastructure of our 100 year old campus, expanding our programs and services, and focusing on how we can reach the needs and wants of the seniors of the future.”

Redevelopment is not out of sight, however. The Kenney has begun the plans for a Memory Care Unit to be open fall/winter of 2011. There’s also more building on the horizon, but it may be a few years away. “We do need to have more people on campus in order to survive as a community,” says McFeely. “Not the original 400 we had once planned, but maybe 275-300. This new project will most likely start in the next two to five years.”

When the original $150 million redevelopment plan was announced in 2008, there was some community unrest. “I’d like to thank the community for hanging in there with us,” says McFeely. “We’ve gone through a lot of changes in the plan and I know it’s been tough not knowing. Scaling back will really meet the needs of our community.”

Our archive of coverage of that process is here, newest to oldest.

From the annual spring champagne brunch/auction fundraiser at The Kenney today: Former Mayor Greg Nickels keynoted, and posed with (from left) State Rep. Joe Fitzgibbon, Kenney CEO Kevin McFeely, and City Councilmember Sally Clark. More after the jump:

WSB contributor Ellen Cedergreen reports that more than 160 people were on hand, 30 of them current Kenney residents. Brunch was served in the community rooms downstairs, with champagne and silent-auction browsing in the lobby. Powering the event, in addition to a long list of sponsors: Staff and volunteers – we got Kenney Foundation director Amy Lee Derenthal to pause a moment for a photo with volunteer Sam Zeinu:

Proceeds go to the Life Care Fund, which helps Kenney residents stay on at the retirement complex (which is just north of Lincoln Park) even if they outlive their financial resources. Helping fill the coffers today, a raffle, live auction, and silent auction, including wine baskets:

Today’s premier sponsor was Dignity Memorial/Forest Lawn (which is also a WSB sponsor), whose David Salove chairs the Kenney Foundation’s board.

Three weeks ago, Katie Krause at The Kenney shared a photo of a nesting hummingbird on their grounds near Lincoln Park. Tonight, two more photos – with a hint of the results.

On the lower level of The Kenney, the strains of “La Bohéme” have been resounding for months – as Lyric Opera Northwest prepares to perform Puccini‘s “crowd-pleaser” opera at The Moore downtown next Sunday afternoon. With the company’s founders based in West Seattle, Kim Cooney explains, The Kenney became its “secret rehearsal site” … she adds, “Sometimes at night you can hear a soprano soloist singing in the dark on the way to her car.” The rehearsing’s almost about to make way for showtime. Lyric Opera NW co-founder Pamela Casella is directing the production; co-founder Craig Heath Nim sings the role of Colline.

One of the reasons they chose “La Bohéme” for their next production: The cast includes more than a few children (as you’ll see in the background in our video clip); they have a children’s workshop on Queen Anne and this enables some of their proteges to return to the stage (some of them were in an earlier LONW production of “Oliver“). We dropped in on their rehearsal Friday night; they practiced at The Kenney again tonight, and now move to The Moore for dress rehearsals and a preview, before the Sunday 4 pm show (March 27 – ticket info here, including an online-purchase option).

Residents and visitors at The Kenney got a summer serenade on the northwest lawn tonight – that’s Ed Hartman on the marimba, during the retirement center’s annual summer barbecue party. Here’s the view looking over the roses and dahlias:

As reported here earlier this month, The Kenney is currently revising its redevelopment plan – two years after announcing the expansion project – and promising to have a new one out for community consideration within a month or two, before the official review process resumes.

It’s been almost exactly two years since a WSB’er’s e-mail about redevelopment plans at The Kenney - the century-old retirement complex north of Lincoln Park – led us to sit down with CEO Kevin McFeely for a conversation that resulted in the first news story about the project.

It’s an understatement to say a lot has changed as the proposal – which stirred intense emotions, from neighbors, other community members, and from those with ties to The Kenney – has evolved over those two years. And now it’s evolving again – with the goal to have a new, smaller plan for consideration at community meetings in the next few months, according to McFeely, with whom we talked on Monday, along with the local architect/developer who joined the project team earlier this year, Euclid Development‘s T.J. Lehman, who describes it as in “retooling mode.”

This summer, Legos have even played a part in that “retooling – read on to see why, and hear what else McFeely and Lehman say is happening now:

First, the Legos. As Lehman describes it, they were meant to help facilitate “the beginning of what’s going to be a conversation with the community of what The Kenney should be over the next century,” by inviting people to shape a representation of the campus as they thought it should be.

The setup was in The Kenney’s booth at West Seattle Summer Fest last month, and will be on hand at its annual barbecue (August 19th). McFeely says it “sparked a lot of interest” at Summer Fest, telling the story of how someone whose booth was six booths away “chased me down” to ask what’s up with the project.

One major thing that’s up: Some new people. Lehman’s company, Euclid, is based in The Junction (he is a partner in it with Brandon Nicholson, the architect/developer who is also a partner in “sister company” NK Architects. At the end of January, McFeely explained, they parted ways with their previous developer – New Life (who had publicly debuted at the first September 2008 community meeting).

Why the change? McFeely said that once a variety of factors surfaced suggesting the previous project was too big – “the economic picture changed” and both the city and neighbors voiced concerns about “density and massing” – The Kenney took those to the previous developer, asking, “Is this really the right size?” and got back the answer, “Yes, it’s the right size.”

“We just couldn’t believe that,” recalls McFeely, “so we had a lot of negotiations with them at the end of last year, beginning of this year, and realized, the fit wasn’t there any more.” Besides bringing in Euclid, The Kenney is still working with the other firm that had been front-and-center on the project dating back to fall 2008, Wisconsin-based AG Architecture, and has brought in Craig Witz, whom he describes as having “worked for Life Care Services in Des Moines [Iowa] for (about) 15 years. … What’s really nice about this group is that TJ brings all the expertise for project planning, development, and intricacies … Craig brings the senior-living aspect …” He went on to acknowledge AG’s Gene Guszkowski for having likely “taken the most heat” regarding the project’s previous incarnation, “in terms of hearing from neighbors and the city .. he thinks on his feet, and hears what (people) are saying.” He sums up the team as having “good synergy.”

The big question, then, what have they come up with so far, and what will be different from the project as proposed while it went part of the way through Design Review in 2008 and 2009?

There’s nothing to unveil yet, McFeely and Lehman both emphasize. But we did get something almost-specific when we asked about The Kenney’s iconic Seaview Building.

(August 2009 photo by Christopher Boffoli)
In the original proposal, as noted in our August 2008 story, the Seaview was proposed for demolition, while something “re-creating” it would be built nearby on the site. Public outcry ensued. Then by May of last year, there was a new idea: Save it, and move it forward on the site. In the meantime, it became an official city landmark, after a Landmarks Board vote one year ago.

Asked what the concept for the Seaview’s future is now, Lehman said, “Our current thinking is that it’s in everyone’s best interest to keep the Seaview right where it is. McFeely agreed.

The rest of the project, which they described clearly as “downsized” and “smaller,” will still seek to “strengthen … the continuum of care,” which was an original goal, when the project included a unit to help residents dealing with memory-related illnesses such as Alzheimer’s. But it will have fewer units, and less square footage per unit, than the previous version envisioned, according to McFeely: “There’s a new economic reality out there – we’re trying to be responsive to our neighbors – we’ve been here for 100 years and want to be here for another 100. … What we’re trying to look at is, what’s the right mix of units, whether independent, memory support, assisted living, skilled nursing … we’re still working on that.”

And that mix, McFeely and Lehman made clear, has to make sense for a variety of stakeholders – including the city, which would have had to approve some rezoning to facilitate the previous proposal.

“We think we’re going to come out with something pleasing to everybody – those who live here, those who live next door to us, those who regulate us, those who finance us,” they insisted.

WHAT’S NEXT: Once there’s a new plan, they expect to bring it to community groups such as the Morgan Community Association and Fauntleroy Community Association. Then they will set dates for general community meetings, which McFeely hopes will be possible in September/October. Will they have to start the city application process from scratch? we ask. Lehman says the fact they “anticipate the new project to be smaller” should mean that they won’t be going all the way to the finish line – after all, he notes, “nothing was really approved before” – they hadn’t taken the previous project all the way through Design Review.

For past – and future – stories, keep an eye on the WSB archive for The Kenney coverage – find it here.

As first reported here in April, the redevelopment plan for The Kenney is undergoing some revision – changing into “something smaller,” as T.J. Lehman of West Seattle-based Euclid Development told the Morgan Community Association at their last quarterly meeting. As part of the changes, The Kenney has just sold some land. CEO Kevin McFeely confirmed to WSB not only that they’re selling 7022 46th Avenue SW (the quarter-acre parcel across SW Myrtle from The Kenney’s NE corner; the site holds an old house and was listed for just under half a million dollars), but that the deal is closing today. He explains that “the property no longer fits into our plans” because of the “retooling” of the redevelopment project. McFeely says he expects to be able to reveal more specifics on the downsized project by the end of next month. (Our 2-year archive of stories on The Kenney’s project can be browsed here.)

In order of their presentation during hour 1:

PARKS AND GREEN SPACES LEVY OPPORTUNITY FUND PROJECTS: Three applications are in from the Morgan Junction area – described as the 6765 41st and Parshall Place project, ORCA, and Friends of Orchard Street Ravine. The applications themselves aren’t publicly available yet. The Levy Oversight Committee will be discussing the review process at its next meeting, 7 pm Monday at Parks HQ downtown.

BLOCK WATCH: Southwest Precinct Crime Prevention Coordinator Ben Kinlow has been on a tour of community councils lately, and stopped at MoCA tonight. He urged everyone present to form a Block Watch if they’re not in one already. He also mentioned two big summertime events, as he does at all these appearances – the Night Out block parties that often bring together Block Watch neighbors (among others), always on the first Tuesday in August this year, which will be August 3rd, and this year’s Picnic at the Precinct, set for August 21st.

RYAN COX CASE: Last we heard of the man arrested twice, then found incompetent to stand trial, both after long sprees of vandalism in West Seattle – mostly involving homophobic graffiti – he was arrested for a different kind of vandalism in February, but out of jail within a few days after pleading guilty. The precinct’s city attorney liaison John McGoodwin explained one important component of the case – that Cox was sentenced to 365 days in jail, with 363 of those days suspended – and if he gets into trouble any time soon, all or part of the rest of the sentence can be reinstated. McGoodwin added that if you see Cox or anyone else in the act of graffiti vandalism, call 911.

CANDIDATE’S PITCH: One of the four candidates for 34th District State House, Position 2, Joe Fitzgibbon of Burien, got a couple minutes to make his pitch. He said a major reason he’s running is that he wants to help pass legislation dealing with the root cause of problems, not just “band-aid fixes .. and (legislators say) maybe next year” they’ll get to the heart of the matter. Among the biggest issues he said suffers from this: “The failure to fund basic education.” He also tied his concern in with the Combined Sewer Overflow issue that had brought so many concerned neighbors to the meeting, saying that while it was an attempt to fulfill a state mandate, “the options are constrained … so we’re not looking at it holistically.”

THE KENNEY: T.J. Lehman of Junction-headquartered Euclid Development gave a dizzyingly quick update that seemed to have some big news buried in it: “The first round of comments (on the project) boiled down to , ‘you’re too big.’ We’ve heard that and are trying to make something smaller.” So the project team – which Lehman said has “change(d) some people,” though he described them as mostly involved with finances – will take a few months to tweak the project (which still has to go through at least one Design Review meeting) and will “present it to the community.”

RAPIDRIDE: MoCA board member Chas Redmond brought an update he attributed to Chris Arkills, transportation expert for King County Executive Dow Constantine. The first terminal to be designed in West Seattle for RapidRide, at the Fauntleroy ferry Terminal, is slated to be finished with design by this August, Redmond said, with construction starting in January of next year. But the construction for other terminals – Westwood Village, Morgan Junction, Alaska Junction, The Triangle – won’t happen until spring of 2012. Before RapidRide – as the county had promised when it mentioned the branding itself would be delayed – frequency will be increased next year on Route 54, every 15 minutes between 6 am and 9 pm. And he urged those on hand to be ready to participate in a big way when the county gets ready to talk about route changes in connection with RapidRide’s 2012 debut: “If we want a bus to go around West Seattle [a circulator], come out in droves.” West Seattle RapidRide, known as the C Line, is scheduled to formally debut at the same time as the Ballard D line, in September 2012.

NEIGHBORHOOD STREET FUND PROJECTS: MoCA’s Steve Sindiong said two projects are in the works for street-fund money: Improved pedestrian access across California SW at Holden, Othello and Frontenac, perhaps curb bulbs or repainted crosswalks or push-activated signals; also, a walkway for the west side of 44th SW along the east side of Solstice Park.

FIRE STATION 37: A crew was on hand for part of the meeting, watching from the sidelines – with one update: The new Station 37 is expected to open in October.

SPOKANE STREET VIADUCT: Since SDOT’s Stuart Goldsmith was at the Delridge District Council (see our story), he couldn’t be at MoCA, but president Deb Barker recapped some of the major points, particularly that May 17th closure of the 1st Avenue South ramp to the westbound West Seattle Bridge. Southwest District Neighborhood Coordinator Stan Lock noted from the audience that an official Spokane Street Viaduct Widening Project presentation is booked for the next meeting of the SW District Council, 7 pm May 5 at South Seattle Community College (WSB sponsor).

(WSB photo from January)
BEACH DRIVE SLIDE: The MoCA president also had information from SDOT about what’s been going on since the mudslide that temporarily closed Beach Drive in the 6000 block in January. Bottom line, the city Department of Planning and Development is working with two Atlas Place property owners (uphill from the slide zone), 6067 and 6053, According to Deb Barker’s correspondence with SDOT, the homeowners are supposed to put in drainage pipes that will go all the way downslope to the road, instead of draining to mid-slope. The newer of the two homes, she said, was supposed to have one such pipe when it was built, but did not; the other was built so long ago that it’s impossible to know what it was originally supposed to have.

MORGAN COMMUNITY FESTIVAL: This annual tradition returned last year after a year off, and it was a huge hit. The date’s now been set for this year, said MoCA’s Cindi Barker – 11 am-7 pm on Saturday, June 12th. Popular features like the “Bite of Morgan” and live music will be back, and the festival will be in the same spots – behind the Feedback Lounge (WSB sponsor)/Zeeks Pizza building, and alongside Beveridge Place Pub, with some activities in Morgan Junction Park (which was dedicated at the start of last year’s festival). Barker and Sindiong also said they’re looking for volunteer help – setup and takedown, in particular – you can find contact information on the MoCA website at morganjunction.org.

The next MoCA meeting is on July 21st, 7 pm, The Kenney – but again, we’ve got one more report coming up in the morning, focusing on the issue that took up 60% of the meeting – proposed Combined Sewer Overflow options for the Lowman Beach area.

NEW FERRY’S JOURNEY: The state’s new 64-car ferry Chetzemoka will make its first journey tomorrow, under tow to Everett Shipyard “for final outfitting and system testing prior to conducting dock and sea trials,” according to the WSDOT announcement. You should be able to see it from east- and north-facing West Seattle shores after it leaves Todd Pacific Shipyards on Harbor Island around 8; it’s due in Everett around noon.

Also from the land-use bulletin: The city has officially received the street-vacation petition for 46th Place SW (Google Street View map), as part of The Kenney‘s redevelopment. That means it’s time for public comments. The petition, and comment process, are explained here, on the notice.
