About Asbury Senior Living

Asbury Communities’ heritage is rooted in the Methodist Church. Founded in Gaithersburg, MD, in 1926 as a home for aging parishioners, Asbury has grown into a mission-driven leader for senior living in Delaware, Maryland, and Pennsylvania.

Today, Asbury welcomes people of all beliefs, cultures, and backgrounds and is not affiliated with the Methodist Church. However, we continue to live by the values of Methodism founder John Wesley, who urged followers to “Do all the good you can…as long as ever you can.”

Across nine communities, Asbury proudly serves 4,300 seniors and 2,800 associates, remaining deeply committed to redefining the expectations of aging. Asbury Ivy Gables is honored to bring that same commitment to senior living in Wilmington and the surrounding Delaware community.
