Kendal's Commitment

WE ARE CENTERED IN
the values that are described in this booklet, and in the spirit of community and collaboration that emanates from their practice.

WE ARE INSPIRED BY
the deeply held belief and confirming observations that the later stages of life can bring new opportunities for growth and development even if emerging challenges may bring some loss of independence.

WE CONTRIBUTE BY
working with older people, and others in the broader community, to create conditions that foster independence, well-being, security, and fulfillment in later years.

WE WILL BE SUCCESSFUL WHEN
all people in our society approach the later years with an understanding of the aging process, with an appreciation of the potential for continued growth and development, and with realistic plans to address the variety of circumstances that may arise during the later period of life.

WE ENVISION THE FULL IMPACT OF OUR WORK AS
the transformation of our culture’s view of aging, of older persons, and of the potential for fulfillment and continuing contribution during the later stages of life.
