Unmatched Compassion and Exceptional Care: Hear from Our Families

I am sorry I didn’t get a chance to speak with you after Wilson passed away. I wanted to thank you and your staff for the fabulous care you gave to him while he was at your facility. I know he could be difficult, but all of you handled him with compassion, empathy and grace, and for that I thank all of you. I never worried for one minute about him when he was in your care. PT and OT were awesome also. We were fortunate to have landed at RPP Rehab.

Not-for-Profit

Question: Why is being a not-for-profit beneficial for residents?

Answer: Being a not-for-profit organization is the best way we know how to stay true to our commitment to ensuring quality of life for Residents and peace of mind for their families. Here are just a few ways that Roland Park Place’s not-for-profit status benefits everyone connected to our community:

- 1. We are governed by a volunteer Board of Directors rather than a group of shareholders or investors. Without the need to pay dividends to stockholders, Roland Park Place can reinvest funds into meaningful services, staff education, and Resident programs to enhance your quality of life.
  2. 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 cookie-cutter solutions.
  3. Resident satisfaction guides our community’s organizational strategies — not stock prices. 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.
