Walking Together to End Alzheimer’s!
Residents and staff from Kendal at Hanover came together Sunday to support the Upper Valley Walk to End Alzheimer’s, joining others in our community in raising awareness and funds for this important cause.
Team Kendal has raised more than $20,000 this year! Our team members participated in the Walk in Lebanon and also took steps together around our campus.
We are incredibly proud of everyone who walked, donated, and supported this effort. Your generosity and commitment show the compassion and community spirit that make Kendal at Hanover so special.
Every step brings us closer to a world without Alzheimer’s. Thank you, Team Kendal, for making a difference!

We’re pleased to share this thoughtful leadership reflection from our new CEO, Keith Grady. We look forward to learning more from Keith's experience, insight, and perspective on the future of senior living and how we can recruit talent and develop from within.

The organizations that will thrive over the next decade won’t simply be the ones that hire the most employees. They’ll be the ones that create cultures where people choose to stay, grow and eventually lead.

Thursday was a special day for us. We hosted a Staff Appreciation Day to bring our team together for two special meals, a fun raffle with dozens of prizes and fantastic gifts generously donated for our staff.

The fun coincided with our community Fall Festival, hosted by our Dining Services team, featuring fresh apple c***r, doughnuts, and live music...a perfect way to bring a little extra fall spirit to the day! 🍎🍩

Events like these offer more than good food and prizes. They give staff and residents a chance to step away from their daily routines, connect with one another, share some laughs, and enjoy time together.

A big thank-you to everyone who helped make the day possible, especially those who donated gifts and our Dining Services team for adding to the fun. We appreciate all that our staff do to make Kendal such a special place to live and work! 💙

💛 What an incredible Prouty weekend for Team Kendal! 💛

Our residents, staff, families, and friends came together once again to make a meaningful difference by supporting life-saving cancer research and patient care through The Prouty for the Dartmouth Cancer Center.

This year, Team Kendal brought together more than 50 participants and raised over $40,000, thanks in part to the Byrne family's generous matching gift, with even more donations still coming in!

The day began with many of our team members gathering for breakfast at our Cafe before heading out to participate. At our Reception Water Station, we welcomed hundreds of 3K and 10K walkers, offering refreshments, encouragement, and enjoying the wonderful music of the Upper Valley Community Band.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated, volunteered, participated, or cheered from the sidelines. Your generosity and enthusiasm are helping bring hope to patients and families throughout our region.

Together, we are making a difference.
