Kendal has a new look!
Over the past two years, The Kendal Corporation has engaged in a thoughtful process to evolve the Kendal brand in ways that reflect both our shared values and the strength of Affiliate organizations.

This brand work resulted in the logo you see below - a "trillium" mark reinforcing the core principles of the Kendal system including:
Connection and Community, Balance and Partnership, Growth and Renewal. Read more about our new logo here: https://kai.kendal.org/news/kendal-has-a-new-look/

Many hands make light work! Last Friday, residents and staff at Kendal at Ithaca joined together to celebrate Arbor day with a campus cleanup, tree sapling giveaway, and a tree planting ceremony. We enjoyed the sunshine as we weeded gardens, pruned trees, and cleaned up litter around campus and on Triphammer road before we gathered on the lawn for the annual tree planting ceremony.

The Arbor Day Foundation has recognized Kendal at Ithaca as a 2025 Tree Campus, which celebrates a commitment to enhancing community well-being through tree education, investment, and engagement. This prestigious recognition highlights Kendal at Ithaca’s dedication to integrating trees and green spaces on the retirement community’s campus to create a healthier and more sustainable environment.

What’s the perfect way to spend a cold Saturday? Thanks to the generosity of a resident at Kendal at Ithaca, staff, residents, and their families boarded the warm Kendal bus for a fun-filled afternoon of bowling and lunch. The outing offered an opportunity to relax together and for families to connect with the remarkable people we are honored to work alongside each day. It was a fun celebration of the strong sense of community that truly makes Kendal at Ithaca special.
