Broadmead

94 acres of sprawling countryside set the backdrop for this rare Life Plan retirement community.

Rolling hills, expanses of green, blue skies and fresh air create an environment that is both calming and exhilarating. With so much to do – from relaxing on your private balcony to working up an appetite in the fitness center, engaging in a myriad of social activities or enjoying exceptional meals – Broadmead offers a wealth of opportunities to nurture your body, mind and soul. And one of the nic

est things about living at Broadmead is that virtually everything you may need is included in the monthly fee. That makes it easy to plan and budget for your expenses, because any additional expenses will be few and far between. The Stony Run Meeting of Friends (a Quaker organization) founded Broadmead as a way to serve the needs of older persons. It opened in 1979 as a private, not-for-profit, continuing care retirement community. Broadmead continues to operate under the guidance and ownership of a Quaker-guided, not-for-profit corporation.

Dear Friends: June invites us to reflect, celebrate, and recommit to who we are together.

This month, we recognize Pride, Juneteenth, and National Immigrant Heritage Month, each a powerful reminder of the dignity, resilience, and contributions of people whose stories deserve to be seen, heard, and valued. At Broadmead, inclusion is not a talking point; it’s who we are, and we are excited to come together in meaningful, joyful ways that celebrate our shared humanity and the diversity within our community.

We celebrate Pride because everyone deserves to feel safe, known, and valued. When people are free to bring their whole selves into community, we all grow more connected, and more human in how we care for one another.

We honor Juneteenth by recognizing both the hard-fought history of freedom and the ongoing journey toward equity. In our work, we support Black stories, businesses, and voices because lifting up these perspectives helps us better understand each other and brings us closer as a community.

And during National Immigrant Heritage Month, we recognize that Broadmead is enriched by people from many backgrounds, cultures, and lived experiences. The diversity of journeys represented here, among residents, families, and team members alike, expands who we are and the welcoming way we treat our neighbors.

These moments are part of our everyday work of building a place where everyone can flourish, and we are grateful to do this alongside all of you.

With appreciation,

Jay Prince, President & CEO
Bettina Straight, Director, Culture and Belonging

A recent Maryland Public Television program, “Liberty of Conscience: The Founding of Maryland,” explores the colony’s early vision of religious tolerance and representative government. A highlight of the documentary is the appearance of Broadmead resident and Maryland's third State Archivist, Ed Papenfuse, whose insights bring Maryland’s founding values of freedom, inclusion, and civic responsibility to life.

His perspective reminds us that these ideals don’t just belong to the past — they require our continued attention today.

📺 Worth a watch, especially to hear from one of Broadmead’s own inspiring voices: https://www.pbs.org/video/liberty-of-conscience-the-founding-of-maryland-o4pqyj/
