United Methodist Communities

What United Methodist Communities does

United Methodist Communities (UMC) is a New Jersey-based nonprofit, faith-based senior living organization founded in 1907 and headquartered in Neptune, NJ. It operates four geographically distributed senior living communities in New Jersey: Bristol Glen (a Life Plan Community/CCRC in Newton, Sussex County, on 74 wooded acres), Collingswood Manor (Camden County, near Philadelphia), Pitman Manor (Gloucester County), and The Shores (Cape May County, in Ocean City). Across these communities, UMC offers a full continuum of care spanning independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, respite care, transitions, and hospice and palliative care, supported by a branded Tapestries Memory Care program with Alzheimer's Association-validated Dementia Care Practice Recommendations and dedicated Life Enrichment Team Specialists.

UMC supplements its residential portfolio with HomeWorks, a statewide in-home care agency providing certified home health aides, companion care, live-in care, memory care at home, chronic disease management, respite care, and pastoral care across New Jersey. It also operates five affordable housing properties (Bishop Taylor, Covenant Place, Wesley by the Bay, The Wesleyan, PineRidge of Montclair) and the UMC Foundation, which provides financial assistance to residents regardless of ability to pay. The organization employs between 1,001 and 5,000 people and is accredited by EAGLE, Great Place to Work, CHAP, and SAGECare, and is ADA-compliant and an Equal Housing Opportunity provider.

UMC generates revenue primarily through recurring monthly residential fees that vary by community, care level, and apartment size (e.g., assisted living from approximately $3,860 to $7,530 per month, memory care from $390 per day, independent living at Bristol Glen from $4,410 per month), supplemented by one-time entrance fees (up to $132,000 at Bristol Glen) and community fees ($2,500-$7,500 at other communities). HomeWorks in-home care is priced on an hourly, daily, and live-in usage basis. Go-to-market is a consultative direct-to-consumer motion combining community tours, phone inquiries, website-driven leads, and online assessment and affordability tools (Roobrik, Talk Further). In March 2026, UMC announced a landmark $690 million West Campus Development Project with Rowan University, Inspira Health, Virtua Medical Group, Rowan Medicine, and Fairmount Properties, integrating senior living into a larger mixed-use Wellness Village in Glassboro, NJ.
