The Unique Benefits of a Not-for-profit Senior Living Community

January 7, 2025 | Living at Rolling Green Village

When considering senior living options, many families focus on factors like quality of care, amenities, and long-term value. One aspect often overlooked is whether a community is for-profit or not-for-profit—and this distinction can make all the difference. At Rolling Green Village, a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) Life Plan Community, we are mission-driven, resident-focused, and committed to reinvesting in our residents and team members to ensure a supportive and fulfilling environment.

So, what are the unique benefits of a not-for-profit community? Let’s explore what sets us apart.

A Mission-Driven Approach

Unlike for-profit organizations, not-for-profit senior living communities operate with a singular focus: improving the lives of their residents. At Rolling Green Village, our mission has been clear for over 35 years: to enrich the quality of life for older adults while fostering independence, connection, and well-being. With Christian ideals at our foundation, we prioritize values like integrity, compassion, and cooperation to build a community where residents can thrive.

Reinvesting in Residents

In not-for-profit communities, revenue doesn’t go to shareholders or investors—it goes right back into the community itself. This reinvestment means we continuously enhance amenities, expand services, and offer meaningful staff training to ensure the highest quality of care. At Rolling Green Village, this commitment comes to life through projects like:

  • The development of a new chapel and garden for reflection, spiritual connection, and outdoor enjoyment
  • Staff scholarships to advance careers in nursing, culinary arts, and other key roles—fostering growth, excellence, and lasting relationships within our team
  • Resident assistance funds to provide peace of mind to individuals facing unforeseen financial challenges

With each improvement, we are reinvesting in our promise to create a community where health, happiness, and security are everyday staples.

Long-Term Care and Peace of Mind

For seniors and their families, planning for the future is essential. Not-for-profit senior living communities like Rolling Green Village prioritize long-term financial stability and transparent operations. As a Life Plan Community, we offer a full continuum of care—from independent living to assisted living, memory care, rehabilitation, and skilled nursing—on one campus. This means residents can receive the care they need as they age without leaving the place they call home.

A Sense of Belonging and Community Values

At Rolling Green Village, community is at the heart of everything we do. Not-for-profit settings are often celebrated for their close-knit, inclusive environments where meaningful connections flourish. Here, residents enjoy a wide array of programs and opportunities for engagement—from fitness classes and artistic endeavors to spiritual services and social gatherings. This sense of belonging isn’t just encouraged; it’s cultivated.

Through initiatives like our Chaplain’s Fund, we emphasize the importance of spiritual wellness and personal growth. Whether residents are finding purpose through new friendships, creative pursuits or quiet moments in nature, Rolling Green Village fosters a life that’s fulfilling, active, and balanced.

A History of Care and Generosity

Rolling Green Village was born out of generosity. Over 35 years ago, the Smith family donated their land—once a working dairy farm—to create a high-quality senior living community in Greenville. Their legacy lives on through ongoing donations and planned giving, which help us support residents, enhance our campus, and continue providing exceptional services. Our donors play a vital role in shaping the Rolling Green Village experience through:

  • General Gifts Fund: Addressing campus-wide needs determined by leadership
  • Community Enhancement Initiatives: Funding new amenities, programs, and innovations
  • Planned Giving: Ensuring long-term stability through gifts like life insurance, securities, or appreciated assets

When you become part of Rolling Green Village, you become part of a greater mission—one built on generosity, care, and shared values.
