What Makes Cadbury Different?

Cadbury at Cherry Hill

Last week, we introduced you to the concept of continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs). This week, we’re going to highlight what makes Cadbury different from other CCRCs – our history, our Quaker philosophy and roots, and our Lifecare plan.

Cadbury has a long history in the community of South Jersey. In the late 1970s, members of the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) were interested in creating a continuing care retirement community for individuals of modest means. They received a certificate of incorporation for a new corporation, named Friends Manor, in September of 1977. Shortly thereafter, the name of the organization was formally changed to Cadbury Corporation, after Henry Joel Cadbury, a well-renowned Quaker historian, scholar, and non-profit administrator.

The Quaker philosophy that Cadbury lives by allows us to meet the emerging needs of seniors regardless of race, religion, gender, or condition. Everyone is equal and worthy of respect in our eyes.  We remain a non-profit community and our great reputation has stayed strong for 36 years. Our status as a non-profit organization allows us to re-invest any potential profits back into the community and the residents.

Cadbury is one of the few CCRCs to offer true Lifecare. Lifecare essentially means that a resident moves into the community for an initial fee and an affordable monthly rate and that monthly rate remains the same, even as his or her health needs change and they move to different levels of care within the community. With our model in place, we are able to offer supreme financial, emotional, and medical peace of mind that many stand-alone independent living and assisted living communities cannot.
