Freedom and privacy are inherent qualities of life in a Kendal community, and we seek to preserve an atmosphere of mutual respect, dignity, caring and trust for all. At the same time, residents feel a deep sense of community and belonging, knowing that their neighbors and staff are there for them in good times and bad.
