After nearly four incredible decades of service, Acts has announced an important leadership update.

CEO Gerald T. Grant has informed the Board of Directors of his intention to retire at the end of 2026. He will continue to serve as CEO through the conclusion of his term, maintaining full responsibility for Acts' operations and strategic direction during this planned transition.

The Board has initiated a succession process as part of its comprehensive leadership planning, with a full-year transition timeline designed to ensure continuity and long-term success.

We are deeply grateful for Mr. Grant's nearly 40 years of leadership and impact, and remain fully committed to our mission, our residents, and our stakeholders.

Independent Living is for adults 55+ who do not require supportive health services, but are planning for a day when they might.

✨ The 2025 Acts Chaplains' Conference (Sept. 22–25) was a remarkable gathering that brought together all Acts Chaplains at the Corporate Services Center. 🙌

🎤 Outstanding speakers — all from within Acts, including several chaplains — delivered impactful presentations that stirred hearts and minds. 🙏

This conference not only celebrated the chaplaincy ministry but also reignited a shared vision for spiritual leadership across the organization. The days were filled with powerful moments of reflection, worship, and fellowship — a time of deep connection, inspiration, and renewal. 🤝❤️
