The Board has initiated a succession process as part of its comprehensive leadership planning, with a full-year transition timeline designed to ensure continuity and long-term success.

We are deeply grateful for Mr. Grant's nearly 40 years of leadership and impact, and remain fully committed to our mission, our residents, and our stakeholders.

Where Loving-Kindness Lives

It's easy to imagine country estate living at Country House. This Wilmington community for retirees features classic architecture, acres of manicured grounds, rolling hills, and habitat-rich woodlands that echo its heritage as part of the original Winterthur estate. Country House is just outside of Wilmington and offers shopping, fine dining, and a host of cultural attractions and venues. Philadelphia is less than 30 minutes away and an easy commute will land you in the heart of Manhattan. Journey south to Baltimore's Inner Harbor and National Aquarium or to Washington, D.C. for a day of touring monuments and museums.
