Kendal's excellence is clearly evident in its outstanding health care programs. lEmphasis is placed on
continuing wellness, physical fitness, and maintenance of each
individual's highest level of self-care and independence.
A wide range of health services are
provided at Kendal. The health care team includes physicians;
nursing staff; social services staff; dietitian; therapy services;
and, most importantly, each Kendal resident. Our Stephens Care Center was the first in Ohio to be accredited as a Person-Centered Long Term Care Community. The community is located
only 1 mile from Allen
Community Hospital, a full-service acute care hospital,
affiliated with the Community Health Partners network.
The range of therapy services includes an extensive program in Creative Arts Therapies, which includes art, movement and music therapy. 
The fitness center includes Keiser exercise equipment, a four lane lap pool, and therapy pool. Fitness classes and programs strive to meet individual needs and support a managed health approach based on total well-being. A number of these classes include space for non-Kendal residents. Click here for class descriptions and fee information for non-Kendal residents. The cost of fitness programs at Kendal is included in the monthly fee for Kendal residents and members of Kendal at Home. See our current schedules for pool programs and fitness classes.
Our Platinum continuing care contract provides one of the most
comprehensive packages of health care services, residential services
and amenities in Ohio. Of special importance is the fact that
our comprehensive Platinum Residence and Care contract covers unlimited
long term care, when needed, at no additional cost.

supplemental insurance no longer pay benefits.
Health Care Services Available at Additional Cost
Some health care services
are available on site for the convenience of the resident but
are not covered by the fees and most insurances. Such services
as dentistry, podiatry, massotherapy, and eye care, for example,
will be available on site but will be offered at the resident's
expense.
Contract Options
Kendal at Oberlin also
offers other contract options. For those who carry a qualifying
long term care insurance policy, or those who have the resources to self-insure
future health care needs, modified agreements are available. These
are more limited in health care services, but at reduced up-front
cost. In these situations, the resident assumes the risk of paying
for some health care expenses at prevailing daily rates.
Kendal offers options
for refundability. Both 50% and 90% agreements are available.
