ACTS Retirement-Life Communities
Company History

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.

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 retirement community.
