Today, we celebrated a significant milestone regarding our Kendal at Longwood Health Center project. The Cumberland house (which is our Personal Care) received the license to start welcoming residents into its new home! We had a very small gathering of residents, some family members, staff, the movers, some of the Benchmark Construction Company, Inc. staff, and more. This achievement signifies a big step forward, and it wouldn't have been possible without the incredible dedication and teamwork of so many. Now on to phases 2 and 3 of this project, with final construction finished in early 2027. LeadingAge PA Lenhardt Rodgers Architecture + Interiors LeadingAge CARF International
