About Asbury Communities, Inc.

In 1926, a group of compassionate visionaries opened a Methodist home for the aged in Maryland. Nearly 100 years later, that single act of service has grown into Asbury Communities—one of the 20 largest not-for-profit senior living organizations in the nation, as ranked by the LeadingAge Ziegler 200.

At Asbury, we believe aging is not about limitation—it’s about possibility. That’s why we don’t just ask “Why?” We ask, “What if?” and “Why not?”

With 11 senior living communities across four states and more than 2,800 associates, we serve over 4,300 older adults with a forward-thinking blend of innovation, care, and connection. From leading-edge brain health and wellness initiatives to award-winning community culture and inclusive practices, we are redefining what it means to grow older.

We are proud to be recognized as:

✔️ A Great Place to Work®

✔️ A Fortune Top 40 Workplace in Aging Services

✔️ A DiversityJobs Employer

✔️ ICAA’s #1 U.S. Senior Living Wellness Community

✔️ A U.S. News & World Report “Best” in multiple care levels

✔️ SAGECare LGBTQ Platinum Certified

✔️ EAGLE Accredited by the Methodist Ministries Network

Our not-for-profit system includes HUD affordable housing, adult day services, home care, pharmacy and therapy management, as well as ThriveWell Tech and the Asbury Foundation—each expanding our mission to do all the good we can, in all the ways we can.

With one eye on the future and the other on those we serve today, we’re shaping the next century of aging—empowering older adults to thrive with dignity, purpose, and joy.
