The accreditation process means that CARF-CCAC has thoroughly investigated and determined Roland Park Place to be a safe, financially sound and responsible organization. This literal “gold seal” of approval is awarded to only the very best in the senior living industry—in fact, fewer than 10% of all Life Plan or Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) in the U.S. achieve this accreditation.

We’re proud to have maintained our accreditation since 1990; it demonstrates our commitment to rigorous self-evaluation and continuous organizational improvement.

Being a not-for-profit organization supports a singular focus on our commitment to ensuring quality of life for Residents and peace of mind for their families. Roland Park Place’s not-for-profit status benefits all connected to our community in multiple ways:

• We are governed by a volunteer Board of Directors rather than shareholders or investors. Without the need to pay dividends to stockholders, Roland Park Place can reinvest funds into value for residents: meaningful services, staff education, and programs to enhance your quality of life.
• Organizational decisions are based on Roland Park Place’s mission, vision, and values—not on what will generate profits. Unlike for-profit communities, the leadership at Roland Park Place does not answer to a corporate office or offer profit-driven solutions.
• Our commitment to quality of life for our residents is the strongest influencer in decisions made about and for the safety and welfare of everyone within our community. The choices we make are guided by resident satisfaction—not stock prices.
