Kendal staff are available to residents for catering and the following note was received after one such recent event:

I want to thank you both for your patience and care in planning my mom’s party. The staff is always very welcoming in the dining room and his presence serving at the party was an unexpected plus. The young woman who served was efficient and friendly. My mom really liked sharing some of her favorite dishes and we appreciated having a welcoming place to hang out. Thanks again and feel free to pass this on to whomever should know how fortunate they are to have you guys.
