Kendal on Hudson | A Retirement Community

For older adults in Sleepy Hollow, NY, and even farther away, Kendal on Hudson is home. Situated on a 25-acre campus with three types of senior living options and levels of service, residents enjoy a welcoming, inclusive, vibrant and actively social retirement living environment built on a foundation of Quaker values and principles and complete with peace of mind.
As a Life Plan Community with a Lifecare contract for those 62 and better, Kendal on Hudson offers Independent Living, an Assisted Living facility, Skilled Nursing care, Rehabilitation and Memory Support, depending on each individual’s unique needs. Not only does this bring everyone peace of mind knowing their health needs will be met for the rest of their lives, but spouses, too—as couples with different care needs have the convenience of living in the same senior living community.

Resident Council
With our unique model, the Residents’ Council, made up exclusively of Kendal residents, plans all programs, activities and lectures in the community. Their vast knowledge and experiences allow for continued learning and growth.
But they don’t forget about fun! Socials, parties and opportunities to gather are always happening behind the doors of Kendal.
