What Makes Cadbury Different?

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.
