After nearly four incredible decades of service, Acts has announced an important leadership update.

CEO Gerald T. Grant has informed the Board of Directors of his intention to retire at the end of 2026. He will continue to serve as CEO through the conclusion of his term, maintaining full responsibility for Acts' operations and strategic direction during this planned transition.

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.

✨ The 2025 Acts Chaplains' Conference (Sept. 22–25) was a remarkable gathering that brought together all Acts Chaplains at the Corporate Services Center. 🙌

🎤 Outstanding speakers — all from within Acts, including several chaplains — delivered impactful presentations that stirred hearts and minds. 🙏

This conference not only celebrated the chaplaincy ministry but also reignited a shared vision for spiritual leadership across the organization. The days were filled with powerful moments of reflection, worship, and fellowship — a time of deep connection, inspiration, and renewal. 🤝❤️

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.
