Kendal Outreach LLC

The Kendal idea embraces nationwide outreach, and Kendal’s efforts in this important area have grown steadily over the years. The work of the first program, Untie the Elderly®, began in 1986, and subsequently resulted in Federal legislation in 1990 requiring nursing facilities to consider the effects of restraint use on the well-being of residents.

Continuing Learning Opportunities

The Kendal idea fosters the integration of continuing learning in all aspects of community life and work for residents, staff, and board members.

Kendal’s participation with institutions of higher learning in individual community locations brings significant benefits to all involved: college alumni and faculty become community founders or board members; residents enjoy classes and cultural and athletic events.

Several Kendal affiliates support a number of internship programs for students of local schools and colleges. The Kendal Corporation developed The Kendal System Research Agenda to guide the research and contributions of these programs. Review a list of research projects conducted with Kendal affiliates.
