Our Experience

Kendal's purpose is to serve older people by meeting their social, physical, and spiritual needs. To this end, Kendal communities seek to enhance the quality of life and independence of residents and to provide high quality health care so that each resident may realize his or her full potential.

Recognizing that Kendal communities must be good places to work if they are to be good places to live, Kendal is also committed to providing a high quality work experience for employees. To achieve its purpose, the Kendal organization relies not only on the energies and good will of its staff members, board members, and residents, but also on the exchange of ideas with others who serve older people. Kendal takes an active role in public policy issues that affect older people and participates in many professional associations.

Kendal at Lexington is affiliated with The Kendal Corporation. Based in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, The Kendal Corporation is a not-for-profit, charitable organization governed by a Board of Directors, a majority of whom are members of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). Kendal has over 30 years' experience in the successful development and operation of communities that serve older adults and has received national recognition for excellence in the field of care for the aging.
