The Advantages of Choosing a Nonprofit Life Plan Community


August 15, 2025

When planning for the next chapter of life, choosing the right senior living community is one of the most important decisions you will make. Beyond location and amenities, the type of organization, nonprofit vs. for-profit, can have a significant impact on your quality of life, financial security, and long-term peace of mind.

At Westminster Village North, a nonprofit retirement community in the Indianapolis area, every decision is made with one priority in mind, our residents’ well-being. By putting people ahead of profits, we create a community where care, comfort, and connection come first. This resident-first approach shapes every aspect of life here, from our financial security options to the vibrant lifestyle and full continuum of care we provide.

Mission-Driven Care That Puts Residents First

As a nonprofit retirement community, Westminster Village North reinvests every dollar back into resident care, services, and amenities, not into shareholder profits. This mission-driven approach ensures:

  • Higher quality care and more personalized attention
  • Programs and services designed to enrich life
  • Resident-focused decision-making

National data from LeadingAge confirms that nonprofit senior living communities often provide higher staffing levels and better overall satisfaction compared to for-profit operators.

Financial Security and Predictable Costs

With clear contract options and straightforward pricing, Westminster Village North makes it easy to plan for the future with confidence. Our cost structures are designed to give seniors lasting financial security.

According to IRS rulings, a portion of both your Life Occupancy Fee (entrance fee) and your ongoing Monthly Service Fee may qualify as a pre-paid medical expense tax deduction, adding even more value for residents choosing our continuing care retirement community.

Through the Westminster Foundation, benevolent care ensures that residents with continuing care agreements who outlive their financial resources, through no fault of their own, can remain in the community.

Simply put, when you choose Westminster Village North as your home, you gain the peace of mind that it is your home for life.

All Levels of Care and a Vibrant Lifestyle

As a Life Plan Community, Westminster Village North offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, rehabilitation, and skilled nursing, all on one campus. This means you can stay in the community you love even if your health needs change, avoiding stressful moves and ensuring you always have access to the right level of care at every stage.

Here, maintenance-free living includes beautiful apartments, cottages, and ranch homes, plus an array of amenities:

  • Indoor pool & fitness center
  • Walking trails & gardens
  • Creative arts & cultural programs
  • Chef-prepared dining

According to the National Institute on Aging, staying socially and physically active isn’t just enjoyable, it’s proven to support better health, longevity, and happiness in older adults.
