Ann's Choice Retirement Community sits in Warminster, Pennsylvania, and has been around since 2002, offering many kinds of care like independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and continuing care retirement community (CCRC) services, so people can stay as their needs change. The campus is large, covering several apartment buildings connected by sky-bridges, with pretty landscaping, lush gardens, courtyards, and walking paths, where residents can keep busy with walking or seasonal decorations like Halloween and spring blossoms, and the Liberty Commons Clubhouse and Keystone Clubhouse are big spots for activities, clubs, and services. There's room for about 1,600 residents, with a mix of sized apartments like studios, luxury two-bedroom sunroom units, and options for singles or couples, many with kitchens and private baths, and residents can find choices named things like The Brighton, The Glenmont, The Dover, The Jackson, The Hastings, The Harrison, The Franklin, The Fairmont, and The Patterson.
Onsite amenities include restaurant-style dining, common rooms inside and out, a library, beauty salon and barber services, a swimming pool and hot tub, and fitness rooms, as well as music and learning rooms, and even a big meeting spot for flying drones or playing cards, while apartment units often have balconies, bay windows, and dens. Daily life includes scheduled fitness, devotional services, cultural outings, and classes, plus resident-run clubs for bocce, mah jongg, politics, and more, making for a lively place that's always got something going on, with a focus on belonging and community. Services cover housekeeping, move-in help, maintenance, and meal preparation, with menu options for special diets and diabetes, and the staff also manages all main chores for residents who don't want extra work.
Healthcare is handled with onsite nurses, homecare staff, and a medical center, with support for bathing, dressing, medication, and help with moving around, while dementia care includes safe, secure spaces and memory-enhancing activities. There's 12-16 hour daily nursing care, 24-hour supervision, and physical, occupational, and speech therapy for those who need it, along with hospice and respite care when relief is needed for caregivers. Residents can keep pets like cats and dogs, and amenities provide cable TV, Wi-Fi, and wheelchair-accessible showers, while transportation comes through community shuttles, parking, and arrangements for non-medical rides. The rehabilitation center, dentist, podiatrist, doctor on call, and specialized high acuity care options mean support's there for many health issues.
Ann's Choice operates as a nonprofit, part of Erickson Living, and uses a Type-C CCRC fee model, so people pay for what they use, and deposits (refundable up to 90% unless used for services) act much like a hybrid annuity with care benefits, but monthly service fees usually go up about 3.5% each quarter so costs will double in about 20 years if care level stays the same, and incidentals like extra parking, guest meals, or wheelchair rentals have extra charges. Occupancy stays high, around 99%, with about 1,339 employees helping out, and the community holds events and fundraisers, encourages volunteering, and takes donations for its programs. Residents need to enroll in the Erickson Medicare Advantage HMO unless they keep their own Medi-gap plan, and Ann's Choice keeps things secure, with 66 skilled nursing beds and 44 memory care units, lots of engagement options, and features designed for aging in place, all run under its mission to offer housing, food, care, and peace of mind for seniors in the Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington area.
