The Kendal Idea

Kendal at Granville is a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) that embraces the life care concept. Our residents come to live here while still very active and engaged and they know that if they ever need more care, they will be taken care of right here in our community by the staff they have grown to know and love. The basic principle of the life care concept is that once a person comes to live here, they are never asked to leave, even if they have outlived their resources. Because we are a 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit community, we may accept donations to a Resident's Assistance Fund that is utilized to subsidize any resident that becomes unable to pay their fees.

A major benefit of moving to Kendal at Granville is that, because you are pre-paying for your future health care needs at today's cost and the government categorizes a large portion of our entry fee and our monthly fees as pre-paid health care, a portion of your fees is potentially tax deductible for you.

Kendal communities seek to enhance the quality of life and support the independence of residents by providing high-quality services and health care and enabling resident-driven lifestyles, so that each resident may continue at his or her full potential.

In every area of its work, Kendal is guided by its published Values and Standards which are, in turn, rooted in basic Quaker values. We are always seeking to provide a way of life which offers a better way for people to grow older. This approach is based upon the belief that retirement and growing older can usher in new opportunities for growth, development and service. The lifestyle in our communities allows residents' latter years to be independent, productive and stimulating, while providing assurance of health care. Such a community contributes to life enrichment, as residents have the opportunity to explore new experiences and new relationships and to cultivate lifelong concerns and interest.
