Coniston

Coniston

Built in 1981 on the lush Chester County landscape, just off Locust Grove and Haines Mill roads in Pocopson Township—Coniston is the smaller of the two 50+ communities that are part of Kendal~Crosslands Communities. Coniston’s homes occupy about a third of the community’s 36-acre campus, which sits atop a scenic ridge.

Coniston is located less than 2 miles from the Crosslands campus, allowing convenient access to the many programs and amenities enjoyed by all Kendal~Crosslands Communities residents.

The 18 carriage homes are all two bedrooms, a den and 2 ½ baths, with half also having a second-floor loft which can be used as flex space as you see fit. All have wood-burning fireplaces and two-car garages.

Residents enjoy social gatherings, hiking in the meadows, watching fireworks from nearby Longwood Gardens, and simply relaxing on their outdoor decks.

Monthly Fees–What’s Included?

Monthly fees include weekly housekeeping and linen service, home maintenance, as well as water, sewer, trash removal, recycling, school and property taxes.

Coniston and Cartmel residents have the opportunity to take part in the many programs and activities at Kendal at Longwood and Crosslands with most at no charge and are welcome to use any of the facilities including the library, wood shop and art studios, swimming pools and fitness centers.

While residents have access to the health center and dining rooms, they do so on a fee-for-service basis.

Coniston and Cartmel residents also have priority access to all levels of health care in the health centers at both Kendal at Longwood and Crosslands, including out-patient care and services, Personal Care and Skilled Nursing care on a fee-for-service basis. Residents can also take advantage of the medical care provided in the medical office suites at Kendal at Longwood and Crosslands.

Many of the residents at Coniston and Cartmel decide later to move to Kendal at Longwood or Crosslands, when they want the peace of mind that a Life Care contract brings.

Meet Our Residents

The Cullens made a move to Coniston in 2004, which is a 50+ retirement community offering maintenance-free living and is a part of Kendal~Crosslands Communities (KCC). Coniston provided the desired independence and proximity to Betsey’s mom, along with a fabulous meadow view.
