At one time or another we all fantasize about having a chauffeur take us on a shopping spree and then return us home without having to drive or park. Well, Kendal offers that kind of service ten or more times a week and you don’t even have to actually own a car. Its vans can whisk you away to Ossining, Tarrytown or even Thornwood and get you back for an evening at the Bistro. Consult Spotlight for the schedules.
CCRCs
You don’t know what a CCRC is? You’re not alone. However, if you’re at Kendal, look around, you live in one, a “Continuing Care Retirement Community”. Recently the New York Times ran a story on the subject, "The Everything-in-One Promise of a Continuing Care Community." It will give you a picture of what the CCRC world is up to these days.
