Hope came from a vaccine, and Kendal~Crosslands Communities achieved monumental success with their vaccination clinics this winter. Kendal~Crosslands Communities is a Life Plan Community located in Kennett Square, adjacent to Longwood Gardens. For close to 50 years, the community has provided value-centered services to older adults. The pandemic year has flown by and like many organizations, mitigating the risk of infection was the highest priority for the community. “Now, with a vaccine, we have another tool in our toolbox,” says Lisa Marsilio, Chief Executive Officer. “The hope that came with a vaccine allows us to remain safe and open up spaces in our community for the residents,” says Marsilio. Achieving a 99% vaccination rate for their residents and a 90% vaccination rate for their staff is a tremendous success story. “Our staff members are thrilled to get back to a regular work schedule, to interact with residents, see more of their families, and so they understood the importance of being vaccinated,” says Donna Taylor, Chief Health Services Officer. Kendal~Crosslands Communities already had a pandemic plan, and when COVID-19 found its way to the area, they were ready. They were diligent in mitigating the spread of the virus, and they will continue to do whatever is necessary to keep everyone in the community healthy.
