We are excited to share the Kendal 2025 Annual Report, themed “Leading with Purpose – Honoring Quaker Values to Redefine Aging.“ This year’s report celebrates exemplary achievements across Kendal communities and services, driven by residents, employees, members, The Kendal Corporation and ten Affiliate organizations.
The report features Kendal’s successful “Leadership Fellows Program,” designed to cultivate leaders who embody Kendal’s values and mission. This program empowers employees in various areas and positions to grow personally and professionally.
You’ll also learn more about the unique System structure of Kendal’s “Leadership Forum,” which fosters crucial connections and forward-thinking action by bringing together Affiliate Executive Directors, CEOs and Board Chairs with the leadership team at The Kendal Corporation
Kendal Affiliate Highlights Include:
- Sustainability Initiatives: From biodiversity mapping at Kendal at Ithaca, stewardship of native plants at Lathrop Communities to inclusive sustainability efforts at Collington, environmental stewardship continues to guide our actions.
- Technology-Driven Connections: Joy and continued growth are realized through the use of cognitive engagement technology tools at Barclay Friends with individuals with dementia.
- Intergenerational Programs: Award-winning collaborations, like Kendal at Hanover’s Early Learning Center and Enso Village’s student internships, foster creativity and community.
- A Commitment to Inclusion: Kendal at Oberlin’s recognition as an LGBTQ+ “Leader” exemplifies our dedication to celebrating diversity.
- Community & Collaboration: Initiatives across Affiliates, such as Kendal on Hudson’s Commons Refresh renovations and Kendal at Lexington’s “Residents Helping Residents” program, exemplify vibrant community life and support.
