John C. Erickson of Baltimore, Maryland is founder, chairman and CEO of Erickson Retirement Communities. In 1981, Erickson developed an industry-recognized prototype lifestyle for moderate-income retirees, and this model was developed at the Charlestown Retirement Community in Catonsville, Maryland. The $250 million campus is a converted turn-of-the-century-abandoned seminary turned into America's largest retirement community. Other Erickson communities include a joint-venture with the Ford Motor Company on a $135 million campus in Dearborn, Michigan; Oak Crest Village in Baltimore, Maryland; and communities in Springfield, Virginia; Tinton Falls, New Jersey; Silver Spring, Maryland; Peabody, Massachusetts; and Pequannock, New Jersey. The company currently has more than 6,000 residents and nearly 5,000 employees. From1972 to 1979, as president of Florida Leisure Communities, Inc., Mr. Erickson acquired, built and managed over 3,000 housing units for moderate-income retirees in Florida. In 1979, as owner and president of Retirement & Health Services Corporation, Mr. Erickson continued his leisure housing work in Florida and expanded into commercial development in the Palm Beach area.
John C. Erickson , CEO and Chairman of Erickson Retirement Communities, a privately-held company based in Baltimore and founded in 1983, created RLTV Retirement Living TV with the goal of establishing a dominant one-stop portal for boomers and seniors. Mr. Erickson has been involved in the senior care industry since the early 1970s, acquiring and developing moderate-income retirement housing in Florida and Arizona. In 1983, he began concentrating on providing full-service continuing care retirement housing in the northeastern United States with the flagship community of Charlestown, near Baltimore.
John and his wife Nancy founded the Erickson Foundation, which donated $5 million toward the formation of the Erickson School of Aging Studies at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). Today, the Erickson Foundation also funds research grants across the country. Moreover, the Foundation funded the NorthBay Adventure Camp, which mentors at-risk Baltimore-area sixth graders on decision-making for a brighter future. Mr. Erickson and his family are enthusiastically dedicated to the study and promotion of healthy and positive aging in our society.
