Dunwoody Village, a continuing care retirement community located on 83 acres in Newtown Square, has appointed Maureen P. Casey as its new President and Chief Executive Officer.

She will begin her new role in April, following the retirement of Sherry Smyth, who has served as President and CEO for 16 years.

Casey brings with her a strong business background and the exceptional leadership skills she gained while working at continuing care retirement communities and medical systems. Most recently, she was Executive Director for several campuses of Wesley Enhanced Living. She has also served as Chief Operating Officer at Chandler Hall Health Services and previously held leadership positions with the Einstein Institute for Heart and Vascular Health at Einstein Medical Center.

“Maureen exhibits commitment and dedication to improving the lives of older adults,” said Edward Chiosso, Chairman of Dunwoody’s Board of Trustees. “Not only does she have a strong business background with expertise in strategic planning and operational execution, but she also enjoys interacting and learning from residents and staff.”

Casey earned an M.A. in Gerontology at the University of Pennsylvania and a B.S. in Biology at the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science. She possesses a Pennsylvania Nursing Home Administrator License.

As President and CEO of Dunwoody Village, Casey and her leadership team will direct nearly 500 staff members who provide services to more than 400 residents.

“I’m thrilled to be joining Dunwoody Village,” Casey said. “I look forward to meeting the residents and staff and continuing to build upon Dunwoody’s strong foundation as one of the area’s leading retirement communities.”
