A History of Excellence

Founded in 1926 as a Methodist home for the aged, Asbury Communities has spent nearly a century redefining what it means to age well. While Asbury is no longer affiliated with the United Methodist Church, that faith-based heritage still shapes our Guiding Principle: doing all the good we can with integrity, transparency, and grace. At a stage in life when many people begin to expect limitations, Asbury works to create opportunities. At Asbury, we don’t just ask, “Why?” We ask, “What if and why not?”

Today, Asbury Communities, which includes Albright Care Services in PA, encompasses nine senior living locations across Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. Led by President and CEO Doug Leidig, our not-for-profit system of continuing care retirement communities is among the nation’s 20 largest, as ranked in the LeadingAge Ziegler 200.

With a focus on the future and an emphasis on harnessing technology to enhance our services, innovating cutting-edge well-being and brain health programs, and strong financial stewardship, we are addressing the needs of tomorrow’s seniors.

When it comes to providing outstanding senior living services, we work hard to set ourselves apart from the competition. Here are some highlights of accomplishments Asbury has earned over the past decade across our senior living communities:

  • DiversityJobs Employer
  • EAGLE Accreditation, Methodist Ministries Network
  • Fortune Top 40 Workplaces for Aging Services
  • Great Place to Work Certification
  • ICAA  #1 U.S. Senior Living Wellness Community

  • U.S. News & World Report “Best” Nursing Home, Assisted Living, CCRC
