About Us
Our Mission
Loving, Comfortable and Supportive
HeartHomes is committed to redefining assisted living and memory care by offering more than just a place to stay – we offer a place to thrive. Our mission is to create a loving, comfortable, and supportive community where residents and their families find peace of mind, knowing that their loved ones are cherished, engaged, and safe. We achieve this through personalized care, meaningful activities, and unwavering dedication.
Everybody Knows Your Name
We believe that in our smaller, more intimate setting, residents and their families experience a level of care that is both profound and personal. Here, it’s not just about finding a place to stay; it’s about discovering a home where the staff knows you by name, understands your story, and becomes an integral part of your journey.

Compassion is the heartbeat of HeartHomes. We approach every resident with kindness, empathy, and a genuine understanding of their unique needs. Our compassionate care goes beyond routine tasks; it’s a commitment to fostering a warm and supportive environment that enhances the well-being of every individual.
Dignity
We believe in upholding the inherent dignity of every resident we serve. At HeartHomes, residents are not just names on a list—they are individuals with rich stories, experiences, and a lifetime of contributions. We treat each person with the utmost respect, recognizing and honoring the dignity that defines them.
Respect
Respect is the cornerstone of our community. We create an atmosphere where residents feel valued, heard, and understood. From the smallest interactions to the most significant decisions, HeartHomes is committed to cultivating an environment that exudes respect.
Peacefulness
Peacefulness is woven into the fabric of HeartHomes. We strive to create a tranquil setting where residents can experience serenity and a sense of calm. Our commitment to peacefulness extends to every aspect of our community, fostering an environment that promotes well-being and contentment.
The HeartHomes Story: James Weyand
James Weyand, the owner of HeartHomes, embarked on his journey in Assisted Living in 1996. His experience began as the Chief Financial Officer for Colonial Manor Homes, the precursor to HeartHomes. Instrumental in navigating the complex landscape of construction financing and collaboration with Constellation Senior Services, a subsidiary of Baltimore Gas and Electric, James played a pivotal role in overseeing the financial aspects of 13 facilities.
After a brief stint in the tech industry and public CPA practice, James returned to his roots when his previous counterpart at Constellation Senior Services purchased eight facilities where James had previously served as CFO. Assuming the role of Director of Operations and CFO, he later acquired the buildings in 2008, becoming the owner/operator.
James’s commitment to caring for people, particularly in an often-overlooked age demographic, has defined his career over the past two decades. Choosing to have his offices within HeartHomes facilities, he routinely checks in on residents and staff, fostering a hands-on approach to care.
Believing in the advantages of smaller facilities, James emphasizes personalized service and a deeper connection with residents and their families. His core values of compassion, dignity, respect, and peacefulness reflect his vision for creating an environment where families can trust that their loved ones are known by name and personality.
A graduate with honors in accounting from a small Christian college near Philadelphia, James’s dedication extends beyond his professional life. As a follower of Jesus, he has participated in mission trips to Trinidad and Tobago and embarked on a cross-country bicycle journey for charity. James, a family man with a loving wife, three children, and two grandchildren, finds joy in spending quality time with his family and friends, engaging in activities like golf and staying active
