“Moving here has made an amazing impact on my life. I feel like it’s added years. Physically I’m healthier and stronger. Mentally I know that I am also. Emotionally, having all the support and love of the residents and staff has made an amazing difference.”
“That’s what’s so great about this community. You can be as busy as you want or as quiet as you want, but there’s always something interesting to do. Whatever you think Asbury is going to be, think about doing more.”
“We had been in Delaware where we were totally out and free and I did not want to come back to a place to live and feel like I had to go back in the closet. I think people have gotten to know us as a couple, and they’re okay with us. We’re not the gay couple, we’re Terry and Beth.”
“We have about 120 residents who participate in the Gaithersburg Beloved Community Initiative, an intergenerational advocacy program that was named one of the best in the country. There’s a real interest here in helping and participating in issues outside of the community.”
“We have many accomplished people here, but everyone has left their egos at the door. It’s all about what kind of person are you now? Are you friendly? The opportunity to meet interesting people that you can have fun with is more available here.”

“I’m definitely a planner and I considered a lot of alternatives. I have no regrets about moving to Asbury. It’s brought more than I expected. Everytime you go outside it just lifts your spirits. There are extraordinarily interesting people who live here and who work here.”
“We have been more involved with the neighbors here in five or six months than we were involved in 30 years in our last neighborhood in Potomac, so it’s fascinating. We’re both really enjoying discovering everything that is available at Asbury.”
“It’s such a free and easy environment in the Villas to have your own little community. Yet you have a lot of opportunity of meeting other people when you do the activities on campus and when eat in the dining venues. There’s always somebody to say hi and talk to.”
“The concept of being closely linked to a community with the ability to move from where you were living to health care and back to your house made a lot of sense. And when we looked at our amortized expenses, we decided we were probably slightly less expensive moving here.”
