About ACTS Retirement-Life Communities

The Leader in Life Care for More Than 35 Years

ACTS Retirement-Life Communities (ACTS) has been setting the standard for excellence in independent retirement living for more than 35 years. With a vision founded in faith and guided by a commitment to integrity and loving-kindness, ACTS has established an unsurpassed reputation for strength and stability in the senior living industry.

ACTS began out of the concern of a suburban Philadelphia pastor and some members of his church who sought a dignified and acceptable retirement setting for the older members of the congregation. From there, ACTS opened its first community in 1972, Fort Washington Estates, in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. ACTS has continued to expand its unique concept of independent retirement living throughout the nation and is now the largest not-for-profit owner, manager and developer of continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs) in the United States. Over 8,100 retirees, age 62 and better, live at ACTS’ 19 resort-style retirement communities in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Florida.

ACTS is independent of affiliation with any specific denomination, but maintains its Christian roots through the practice of having a full-time Chaplain at each of its retirement communities.
