The residents and staff at Kendal~Crosslands Communities, are committed to social responsibility. As a progressive retirement community, we strive to be good neighbors, use responsible business practices, maintain ethical relationships, and build strong relations in the local community.
Whenever possible, we share our resources, knowledge, and facilities with the larger community. Residents provide valuable time and knowledge, and staff members share their skills with local groups through speaking engagements, workshops, and other educational programs.
