Job Description
Growth, purpose, and impact are waiting at your doorstep.
Nestled along the scenic Hudson River in Sleepy Hollow, New York, Kendal on Hudson is one of the nation's premier continuing care retirement communities, renowned for its vibrant culture, resident engagement, and commitment to excellence. Home to an active and highly engaged population of residents, the community blends exceptional hospitality, wellness, and lifelong learning within a stunning riverfront setting.
