Kendal~Crosslands Communities

Last week, we welcomed the Nurse Aide Students from the Delaware County Community College Adult Program at Pennocks Bridge. They will complete their clinical hours, two days per week, until mid-December, in our Skilled Care Household at Crosslands. We are honored that they chose us as their clinical site. The student’s inquisitive and caring personalities will help them succeed in their healthcare journey. Practicing our values of lifelong learning and outreach, we welcome students anytime! #leadingagepa #healthcare #nurses LeadingAge

Since the 1970s, we have partnered with West Chester University’s Nursing Program, inviting students to conduct their clinical rotations in our nursing residences. The friendships formed and the knowledge gained are our values in practice. We want to take this opportunity to thank the students for their ongoing support, and we wish them well in their healthcare journey.

We offer a Nursing Assistant Training Program (NATP) several times yearly, practicing our value of continued learning and an exceptional work environment. This week, five individuals completed the program. The graduates will become Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) after passing an examination that will provide the necessary credentials to work in long-term care in Pennsylvania. We held a special ceremony with flowers, cake, diplomas, and smiles. Congratulations to all!
