Meet The Manager

Graham Burrell is Home Manager at Kendal Care Home.

"My nursing career saw me predominantly working in complex dementia services, and eventually led me to become a Home Manager. I have enjoyed 10 years as a successful home manager and am very proud to be in my third year at Kendal Care Home.

I am committed and passionate about my role at Kendal Care Home, which provides a warm and welcoming environment to our residents and their families. Our team delivers high-quality, individualised care and forges great relationships with our families."

Graham Burrell

Kendal Care Home is a trusted choice for high-quality residential, nursing, and specialist dementia care in a peaceful location on Burton Road in Kendal.

With 38 beautifully appointed en-suite bedrooms and 82 modern nursing suites, every room has adjustable beds, personal call systems, and individual climate control, ensuring comfort and safety 24/7.

Kendal Care Home offers more than care—it offers community, dignity, and a real sense of home.

Residents are welcomed into spacious, stylish living areas that promote independence and well-being. Whether you're looking for residential care, long-term nursing support, or specialist dementia care, the experienced team provides personalised care plans that adapt to each resident's individual needs and preferences.

Residents can enjoy the landscaped gardens, outdoor seating areas, and dedicated gardening spots outside. Inside, the bright and airy glass conservatory is a favourite space to relax and socialise, whatever the weather.

This is supported by all our staff but especially by our dedicated activity staff who help co-ordinate programmes for our residents according to their choices and individual hobbies.

On any particular day, our residents could be enjoying a drive in a car or mini-bus, participating in reminiscence workshops, planting their favourite flowers in the garden, or enjoying a cinema afternoon with a glass of champagne.
