Mission
and Quaker Roots
The mission of The Kendal
Corporation, a not-for-profit organization, is to develop, support,
and lead a system of communities and services for older persons, in
accordance with the principles of the Religious Society of Friends.
Mission
Statement of The Kendal Corporation, 4/21/01; reaffirmed 2003
Kendal communities seek to enhance the quality of life and independence
of residents by providing high-quality services and health care and
enabling resident-directed lifestyles, so that each resident may realize
his or her full potential. Kendal outreach programs serve a wider audience
through advocacy and education in many forms. In every area of its work,
Kendal is guided by its published Values and Standards which are, in
turn, rooted in basic Quaker values.
To achieve its mission, 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 in the field of service
to older persons. Kendal takes an active role in public policy issues
and participates in many professional associations.
