Assisted living at Kendal’s Stephens Care Center is designed for current residents or direct admissions from the greater community who require assistance and supervision throughout the day. For example, residents may receive help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, grooming and managing medications. A dedicated and specially trained team is available 24 hours a day to support residents in our assisted living community.
