About Dunwoody Village

Dunwoody Village is an accedited, continuing-care retirement community located in historic Newtown Square, Pennsylvania. Its lush, wooded, eighty-three acre campus has the convenience of a suburban Philadelphia location, but the peaceful seclusion of a private estate.

Couples and single persons age 65 and older have the opportunity to join the Dunwoody community and enjoy their retirement years with an outstanding quality of life.

The Founding of Dunwoody Village

William Hood Dunwoody, a native Philadelphian, served in an apprenticeship while among Quaker families and relatives who taught him to be patient, silent, thorough, and to keep a close eye on the books.

It was the founder's love of his fellow man and their welfare that was the motivating force behind his trust under will to care for convalescent men.

In the 1960s, the Board of Trustees researched the changing needs of society and concluded that it would be in keeping with the intent of Mr. Dunwoody's will to build a continuing-care retirement community that would make better use of the eighty-three acres of farmland.

The Board of Trustees opened the Village in 1974.
