Granite Farms Estates

What Granite Farms Estates does

Granite Farms Estates is a senior retirement community located in Media, Pennsylvania, operating as one of 28 wholly-owned campuses within the Acts Retirement-Life Communities network. The community delivers a campus-based continuum of care spanning Independent Living, Assisted Living, Skilled Nursing, Memory Care, and Short-term Rehabilitation, designed so that couples can remain co-located as individual health needs diverge. Its target residents are adults aged 55 and older, with primary acquisition focus on independent-living prospects who are planning for future healthcare needs, supported by outreach to adult children of aging parents.

The core commercial instrument is the Acts Life Care contract, which combines a one-time entrance fee with recurring monthly service fees. Under the Life Care Premier tier, monthly fees remain constant even when residents transition to higher-acuity care, providing financial predictability; an alternative Balanced Plan offers a lower entrance price with a different fee structure. The MyActs Wallet digital platform adds à la carte service customization on top of the base subscription. Pricing is quote-based, not publicly disclosed, and varies by community, floor plan, and care level.

Granite Farms Estates is sold through a field-sales, campus-based go-to-market targeting individuals, couples, and adult children, augmented by content marketing, resident referrals, campus tours, a cross-network Travel Program, and a relocation partnership with LivNow Relocation Specialists. The parent organization, Acts Retirement-Life Communities, Inc., is a private, non-profit corporation founded in 1972, operating 28 campuses across nine East Coast states (Alabama, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina). Revenue is not separately disclosed at the campus level.
