Acts Expands its Mission With New Affiliate Communities in Maryland
Acts is excited to welcome several new communities into our growing family following an affiliation with Integrace that became official on April 1, 2019. Founded in 1974, Integrace is a not-for-profit system of retirement communities in Maryland consisting of Bayleigh Chase in Easton; Buckingham’s Choice in Adamstown; Fairhaven in Sykesville; along with Copper Ridge, a memory support residence in Sykesville. Collectively, the communities
are home to approximately 1,080 residents and provide a continuum of services including independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, short-term rehabilitation and specialized programming for Alzheimer’s Disease, dementia and other types of neurocognitive disorders.
“We are excited to be bringing Integrace into the
Acts family, and building upon the success of these communities,” said Acts President & CEO Gerald T. Grant. “Our organizations share a similar mission and culture with consistent values and commitments to residents and employees. It’s exciting to contemplate the future of our organizations and what we can achieve as we work together to enrich the lives of our residents.”
