Normalcy Returning to Dining and Fitness

Since the COVID-19 outbreak, Kendal, under the guidance of Executive Director Pamela Klapproth and Health Services Administrator Lisa Wacht, has closely adhered to the rules and regulations set down by the NY State Department of Health. Our good health is in large part a result of their efforts and those of the entire Kendal staff. We were recently advised that we are on a slow and studied path toward normalcy. Will it be the old or the new?

On September 9, the Bistro will be open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The details have been shared with all residents in an informational memo by Dining Services Director Fred Coppola and can be seen on the Menus and Dining Page. For additional information you can watch Fred’s Zoom presentation on Channel 1970, September 7 - 9 at 3 pm.

On September 9, the Kendal Fitness Center will once again be open for residents’ use. There are, of course, social distance and masking requirements, but use of the exercise machines under the guidance of Cathy DiSomma and her staff will be most welcome.

While we are still precluded from having outside visitors in our buildings, there is talk now of a more liberal policy starting in October.

It should be noted that all changes will be carefully watched to see that safety precautions are being observed and there are no troubling effects.
