For-profit vs. nonprofit senior living communities:
What’s the real difference?
There are so many factors to consider when you’re thinking about your options for retirement living. The cost, the location, what level of care you or your loved one needs. But have you thought about the differences between for-profit and nonprofit communities? And do these differences really matter in the day-to-day lives of residents?

At Rockwood at Whitworth, our nonprofit status is absolutely core to who we are and how we operate as a community. We believe that it’s one of the key reasons why Rockwood Retirement Communities has been a leader in senior living in the inland northwest for 63+ years. And it’s one of the reasons that our future is so bright.
As a Life Plan community offering a full spectrum of care, our commitment to our residents is second to none. And that goes beyond just the services and amenities we offer. It includes how we handle our finances, too.
We invite you to learn more about why we believe our nonprofit structure is so important, and why it might matter to you as well. As always, if you have any questions, we would love to talk to you about your retirement plans and how Rockwood might be a part of them.
