Shenandoah Valley Westminster-Canterbury (SVWC) is preparing for an exciting new phase of growth and innovation following the purchase of approximately 88 acres of land adjacent to its existing 87-acre campus in Winchester, Virginia. As reported by The Winchester Star, this major expansion marks a milestone in the organization’s long-term vision to serve current and future generations of older adults.

With this acquisition, SVWC effectively doubles its physical footprint, opening the door to new possibilities for residential living, wellness amenities, and programmatic development. The added acreage provides ample opportunity for thoughtful planning, ensuring that new features and spaces harmonize with the community’s existing design and the natural beauty of the Shenandoah Valley.

While specific development plans are still being explored, SVWC leadership has emphasized that the purchase was made with resident well-being and the future of senior living in mind. The expansion will enable the organization to continue providing high-quality care and lifestyle options while anticipating the evolving needs of a growing and active aging population.

SVWC’s philosophy of “living life fully” extends far beyond care—it encompasses physical, social, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual wellness. The community’s ongoing recognition, including its recent ranking as #17 in the 2025 ICAA NuStep Beacon Awards, underscores this dedication. The new acreage will allow SVWC to strengthen these commitments through expanded green spaces, walking trails, gathering areas, and wellness-driven facilities that foster engagement and connection.

For more than three decades, SVWC has been a trusted name in senior living in the Shenandoah Valley, known for its vibrant lifestyle, comprehensive care continuum, and deeply rooted sense of community. This latest investment ensures that SVWC will continue to grow with intention—creating a place where residents can thrive in every season of life.
