Life at our four retirement communities
All of our 4 campuses at Kendal~Crosslands independent living retirement communities are unique and as you learn more, we believe you will be just as inspired as the residents who live here.
Kendal~Crosslands Communities, a Life Plan Community (formerly known as a Continuing Care Retirement Community CCRC), is made up of two independent retirement living communities – – Kendal at Longwood and Crosslands. Both Communities offer Lifecare contracts with a full continuum of care. Also, we have two 50+ neighborhoods, Coniston and Cartmel, which offer maintenance-free living. Kendal-Crosslands Communities instills Quaker values in everything we do, across all of our campuses. To learn more about our Quaker Values and Practices, you can learn more by clicking here.
