Foxdale Village

What Foxdale Village does

Foxdale Village is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) continuing care retirement community (CCRC), commonly termed a Life Plan Community, located on a 23-acre campus at 500 East Marylyn Avenue in State College, Pennsylvania, adjacent to Penn State University. Founded in 1985 by members of the State College Friends Meeting and opened in 1990, the community operates under Quaker-directed values and provides a full continuum of senior care: 148 independent-living cottages (845-1,181 sq ft, 1-2 bedrooms) and 57 apartments (635-1,450 sq ft) connected to a central Community Center, plus Darlington House for personal care, Anthony House for skilled nursing, two dedicated memory care neighborhoods, and a short-term rehabilitation program. Supporting services include a Healing Waters Therapy Pool, fitness studio, on-site Medical Home with a weekday physician group, pharmacy and phlebotomy delivery, 24-hour emergency call systems, restaurant-style and cafeteria dining, and a holistic wellness program covering physical, intellectual, social, and spiritual wellness through an OLLI at Penn State partnership.

The business model relies on two contract types marketed directly to seniors 62 and older and their families. The Lifecare contract requires higher entry fees and monthly fees with a pre-paid healthcare component that provides the first 90 days of temporary care per episode at no additional charge and substantially reduced rates thereafter; portions are tax-deductible as medical expenses. The Fee-for-Service contract uses reduced entry and monthly fees but charges published daily per diem rates when healthcare services are needed. A Priority List program with a $1,000 deposit and $200 administrative fee reserves a pipeline position. Foxdale employs 251-500 staff led by CEO Tama Carey (joined 2020, formerly COO of Presby Inspired Life) and CFO Deb Shughart (since September 2020, M.B.A. from Penn State), with oversight from a Board of Trustees. The community is independently operated with no parent company, no subsidiaries, no M&A history, no patents, and no disclosed funding rounds, consistent with its nonprofit status. Marketing channels span a content website, Facebook and LinkedIn pages, community events (Center for Healthy Aging lectures, Multicultural Film Festival), local media recognition (Best of State College 2025), and word-of-mouth referrals.
