Kendal At Hanover

My parents (Jim and Harriet Baldwin) were at Kendal for over 15 years until they passed away a year apart. I visited many times, taking the train from the DC area and it was the best place they could have retired to. The place is beautiful and the people and care they received couldn’t have been better. I will forever be grateful for such a wonderful place and all the friendships they and I made.

My parents moved in 20 years ago to a lovely 2 bedroom unit. They were fully immersed in the activities and workshops Kendal offers until my Dad died. After that my mom required more assistance which she has received in the Assisted Living wing, and now in Nursing care. We visit regularly and are always impressed by the care from the staff. We also LOVE the food and wish we had that variety and quality here at home. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

I would give a zero if I could. My grabdparents have been here for forever. The farm house sucks. The rules change regularly. It's insane. The beds are horrible. I had to go see a chiropractor after our visit. The farm house stay is over 200 a night. You apparently get meals at the caffe but we never got one meal. We were made to be an info vinence the entire time. It was stupid. Do not stay here. Days in is 79 dollars a night. Go elands here

My aunt, Esther Morris, lived at Kendal for several years in the 2000s until her death. She moved there to be closer to her daughter & for Alzheimer's care for her husband Mark. I visited her there several times. Kendal was very accommodating to their needs for different levels of care and accommodations. After Mark's death, my aunt, who had been a docent in Santa Barbara, gave tours of the artwork that residents hung in the hallways near their doors. Thus, she was able to have the kind of community interactions that they had enjoyed in California. If I had a daughter living near there, I'd move to Kendal myself.
