Kendal also works with existing communities interested in exploring becoming an affiliate of the Kendal System. Successful planning and development of retirement communities, along with successful affiliation of existing communities in various states, gives Kendal staff depth of experience in developing collaborative plans for specific market, partner and regulatory environments. Support for Kendal Affiliates The Kendal Corporation provides consultation, leadership and support to Kendal affiliate communities, offering several types of services, including: Development Services Master Planning and Strategic Planning Marketing Finance and Regulatory Guidance Design and Construction Operational Start-Up Kendal’s corporate staff includes team members with decades of real estate development experience and expertise in nonprofit senior living development. This team has guided affiliates through more than $350 million in development projects since 2010, through the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic regions. Our affiliates are continually planning new projects to better serve current residents and meet the needs of future residents. The Development Services team supports the affiliates in each of these projects from start to finish. Model Practices & Innovation This team has exposure to all aspects of senior living. Our understanding of senior living finance, expansion and greenfield marketing, and operations, as well as construction and planning, provides a unique opportunity for the Development Services team to communicate model practices to our affiliates. These practices can range from visionary leadership to technical, practical methods that represent the best in the field. Kendal’s desire to advance the field of senior living means that we are tasked with understanding trends and practices that impact residents, affiliates, new projects and the wider world. We strive to understand and teach these practices. Partnerships Many Kendal communities have their roots in partnerships with colleges and universities, and many affiliates have long-standing university relationships and innovative intergenerational programming. Kendal’s commitment to lifelong learning continues as we seek to improve the lives of older adults and advance the field of senior living. Kendal’s history and desire to work with strong nonprofit partners means we have ongoing dialogue with colleges, universities and other partners throughout the country.
