Resident-Owned, Resident-Driven
You hold the deed—and the decision-making power.
A resident-owned legacy, crafted over decades and designed for what’s next.
Stonegates was founded in 1984 by three local developers who wanted something better than traditional senior living. Here, residents own their homes, guide their care, and shape their daily lives.
Ownership is more than a financial model—it’s a reflection of our values. It means stability, voice, and freedom that continues throughout every stage of life.
Our long-tenured staff, friendly residents, and resident-led committees make Stonegates feel more like a neighborhood than a facility.
Many staff members have been with us for over a decade. They know your name, your family, and what matters to you—and that’s exactly how it should be.
Tucked into the Brandywine Valley, Stonegates offers the quiet beauty of nature with the cultural access of a small city. Located on Kennett Pike, you’re just minutes from world-renowned gardens, museums, restaurants, and more.
Whether you’re walking to the café or visiting nearby Wilmington or Philadelphia, you’ll always feel both connected and at ease.
The new Conservatory is now open! A bright, four-season space designed for music, speakers, and special events. With views of the surrounding gardens and natural light year-round, it’s a place where the community comes together to connect, reflect, and celebrate.
We’d love to show you around—and introduce you to the people who make this place feel like home.
