Asbury Communities history

On September 3, 1996, the first residents moved into the cottages, and apartment move-ins began two weeks later.

In 1998, the community laid the groundwork for years of expansion, purchasing an additional 100 acres of land (formerly the Sheely Farm) across the road from the existing campus to create the West Campus.

Bethany Village began taking reservations for West Apartments in late 2000.

The Rosborough Cultural Arts and Wellness Center opened in 2001, offering a theater, a Wellness Center and pool, and other amenities designed to enhance residents’ physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, vocational and social well-being.

The community grew steadily through the decade, opening the West Apartments, MapleWood Assisted Living and The Oaks Skilled Nursing during 2004.

The latest round of expansion was concluded in 2008, with the opening of the West Cottages and Estate Homes.

In 2011, Asbury at Home – now operating as Asbury Home Services – was established to provide home care services to residents and those in the neighboring community.

In 2017 J.D. became President of the Homewood Foundation, part of Homewood Retirement Services.

In 2018, Springhill was proud to be among 100 senior living communities nationwide recognized for having created an exemplary culture of resident engagement by Holleran Research and Consulting, an industry benchmarking firm.
