Wonderful work by the Kendal Delaware team today, who packed supplemental food boxes for the Food Bank of Delaware. 250 boxes of spices, fruit, soup, cereal and other items will be delivered to older adults in the local area to supplement what they receive regularly.

Together, transforming the experience of aging.®
About us
As a system of not-for-profit communities, programs and services founded on Quaker values, Kendal aspires to transform the experience of aging, guided by Kendal’s Values and Practices (see www.kendal.org ). They help ensure that Kendal’s residents and staff share the spirit of community and collaboration and the respect for each individual that flow from Quaker principles. Kendal affiliates work together within the Kendal System and with caring people outside of it to transform our culture’s view of aging and of older persons, stressing the potential for fulfillment and continuing contribution during the later stages of life. The Kendal System uses a federal-type model that seeks to obtain the best of two worlds: sensitivity to local circumstances with most decision-making at a local level, and a capacity to gain benefits of being part of a larger system. Oversight of each Kendal organization is provided by a local board of directors. Residents and community members serve together on each of those boards and the President of each resident association attends those respective board meetings. Said another way, governance of each Kendal organization is not in some corporate office removed from the people being served. Residents are informed about financial and other matters in which they have important interest. Assets are kept within local Kendal organizations throughout the Kendal System and not put at risk to fund new developments in other places. That model has been built and refined over time, with the participation and care of the leadership of all of the organizations in the Kendal System.

Kendal at Home is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment for members, staff and community partners. An important initiative in this area is accreditation by SAGECare. This prestigious certification recognizes the work that the program has done to create a more positive environment for LGBTQ+ older adults, including training all existing and new employees. Building on this positive momentum, Kendal at Home was excited to embrace the affiliate grant funding provided by Kendal Charitable Funds. Read More.

Feeding America released its annual Map the Meal Gap study today. The study shows a sharp increase in the number of food-insecure Delawareans in 2022. 125,370 individuals were food insecure - 1 in 8 Delawareans (12.6%). The Kendal main office in Delaware will help meet the needs of 250 individuals by providing a supplemental Kendal food box for distribution through the Food Bank of Delaware. Thank you to Walmart store #2555 and Store Manager, Shanta, for providing discounts for the purchased goods. #feedamerica Diane Massey, MS, LPC, NCC

Terrific, Imad Chehab.
In today's session, I had the opportunity to share my insights on ManageEngine AD SelfService. It was great to answer questions and share how we use it in The Kendal system to empower our users to self-service their password recovery, ultimately improving security measures. Thank you to the ManageEngine team for facilitating such an informative session! #ManageEngine #ADSelfService #PasswordRecovery #Cybersecurity
