Spiritual Diversity

For residents of all faiths, we offer enhanced spirituality through immersion in the Pennybyrn at Maryfield lifestyle, as well as interdenominational services and events. In addition, we have frequent visits from area clergy, offer spiritual retreats, reflection days, daily celebration of the Eucharist, an on-site Perpetual Adoration Chapel and, last but not least, the sense of comfort and security within a community of friends that soon become family.

A Proud Heritage and Strong Leadership

Pennybyrn at Maryfield is the culmination of six decades of rich history, quality service and excellent reputation. The governing organization, Maryfield, Inc., is a not-for-profit corporation founded by the Sisters of the Poor Servants of the Mother of God.

The Sisters dreamed of coming to America, partly inspired by the support and kindness shown to them by the American soldiers in Europe during World War II. The Sisters began operating Maryfield, a 22-bed nursing home in 1947, which has now been nourished into a spectacular continuing care retirement community.

Maryfield has long been known in the Triad as the premier provider of excellent long-term nursing care. The Sisters’ mission of providing compassionate, heartfelt and professional nursing care has expanded over the decades and is growing even more today to include a large, continuing care retirement community.

Because of the new project – our continuing care retirement community – the decision was made to rename the entire campus Pennybyrn at Maryfield to better reflect the combination of lifestyle choices that will be offered.

Pennybyrn at Maryfield has a strong, experienced management team committed to serving each person who is part of the community. Assisting Pennybyrn at Maryfield with the development and operational transition of this project is CRSA Management, LLC - Cooperative Retirement Services of America – a national leader in marketing and development of senior living communities.

CRSA, which has been in business since 1989, has 37 clients in 19 states, totaling 8,193 senior housing residents. CRSA brings to Pennybyrn at Maryfield a sound fiscal track record with $750 million currently in senior living developments and an average occupancy rate of 95 % in these facilities.
