Nonprofit senior living community in Lancaster

Willow Valley Communities is a nonprofit senior living community for adults age 55 and older, combining independent residences with care as residents' needs change. Its Type A Lifecare contract includes personal care, skilled nursing and memory support without raising the monthly service fee because a resident needs more care. Residents choose apartments, villas or townhomes and have access to dining, fitness facilities and cultural programs. Entrance fees and monthly service fees fund housing, amenities and access to care within the community. The organization opened its first community in 1984 and is headquartered in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
