Where lifestyle & longevity meet.

AT CHARLES E. SMITH LIFE COMMUNITIES, WE HAVE SPENT 114 YEARS PAVING THE WAY FOR MODERN ELDERS TO THRIVE.

Residents who call Ring House home expect and receive the very best. Many are accomplished individuals with discerning tastes who relish intellectual pursuits, artistic expression, active social lives, cultural explorations and meaningful connections. While our Jewish roots inform our caring and quality, we are open to all.

As a 62+ community with a full continuum of living options, residents reap the rewards of our commitment to both longevity and lifestyle. Elevated experiences. Expansive options. Exceptional beauty. Vibrant arts. And so much more.

Find out why Charles E. Smith is an exceptional value.

A FULL CONTINUUM OF CARE WITHOUT A $500K+ ENTRANCE FEE.

If you’ve researched Life Plan Communities, you know CCRCs typically ask for a $500K to $1M entrance fee, plus additional monthly service fees. At Charles E. Smith Life Communities, residents can access our full continuum of care WITHOUT paying an entrance fee or passing an intrusive medical exam. Instead, independent living residents sign a rental agreement with an agreed-upon monthly service fee. If needs change, they can access escalating services, including skilled nursing, assisted living, memory care and rehabilitation services.

Best of all, you are not committed to a lifelong contract. You are free to move without penalty when the lease is up. Plus, your savings are your own and can continue to accrue value. It’s the best way to pass along your wealth to leave a legacy for your family or favorite charity. Learn all about the differences when you join us for a tour or give us a call.

Charles E. Smith Life Communities set the stage for artful living.

If lifelong learning is important to you, you’ll love Ring House at Charles E. Smith Life Communities (CESLC) and our LifeLAB that offers ongoing free educational salons, special celebrations and events.

With the stylish comfort of a boutique hotel, CESLC is created for ageless spirits who appreciate beautiful art, intentional living and proactive wellness. We subscribe to the health span approach to living by nurturing curious minds, strong bodies and unique experiences.
