CARF-CCAC Accreditation:
Ware Presbyterian Village is pleased to be accredited by CARF-CCAC.
The Continuing Care Accreditation Commission (CCAC) was founded in 1985 and dedicated to fostering excellence, integrity and innovation in the aging services field. To enhance these important efforts, CCAC merged in 2003 with the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), an independent, not-for-profit accrediting body promoting quality, value and optimal outcomes of services through a consultative accreditation process. The alignment of these respected organizations has been a positive step in creating an independent resource to help consumers identify high-quality care providers for older adults.
ACCREDITATION AND SERVICES
An organization receiving this Five-Year Accreditation has put itself through a rigorous peer review process and has demonstrated to a team of surveyors during an on-site survey that it is committed to conforming to CARF-CCAC's high standards. It is widely regarded as the "seal of excellence" in identifying high quality programs and services to older adults.

Ware Presbyterian Village is surrounded by picturesque, rural landscapes just a short drive from Lancaster County's Amish country. It's a cozy neighborhood with a small-town appeal, in a location that is convenient to all of the major cities in the Mid-Atlantic area including Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore. And if you're in search of additional arts and cultural venues, The University of Delaware is just 30 minutes away in Newark and with the Academy of Lifelong Learning on its Wilmington campus.
Our residents enjoy a moderate climate all year with beautiful changes of season. In addition, Pennsylvania is one of the most generous states in the country in regards to the taxing of retirement income. Social Security benefits, public and private pensions, as well as IRA distributions are all exempt from state income tax.
The historic Ware mansion is the hub of our beautifully landscaped village. Our apartments are conveniently located in the Mansion with an elevator providing easy access to dining and a variety of activities and social events.
Our new Aquatic and Fitness Center offers a heated swimming pool, whirlpool spa, fitness and aerobic area and massage therapy room for people who enjoy staying active and independent.
In addition, our Ware Presbyterian Village At-Home Services will help you to enjoy independence and can be tailored to meet your individual needs.
Our well-appointed Country Villas make quite an impression with features that may include gas fireplaces, crown molding, upgraded appliances and more - all at an incredible value. They are designed to maximize living space and minimize maintenance for convenient and carefree living with layouts ranging from 750 square feet to just under 2,000 square feet.

ASSISTED LIVING
We've recently added 32 new apartments to our assisted living residence, Steward Place. With an architectural style that complements the features of the 1880 mansion from which our community has grown, Steward Place provides comfortable apartment living combined with personal care in a cozy community-within-a-community.
Welcome to Steward Place, our brand new assisted living residence with conveniently located Commons dining, gift shop, library, computer room, country kitchen, and much more. In addition, our onsite Aquatic and Fitness Center offers SeniorFitnessTM, a directed fitness and aerobic program, massage therapy, whirlpool spa and heated swimming pool which includes a ramp for aquatic wheelchairs.
With fewer than 70 residents, we enjoy fulfilling our commitment to the personal touch, and we're proud to be known for our gracious surroundings, family-style meals, socially stimulating activites, and 24-hour supervision of medical needs by licensed nursing staff.
We also offer short, assisted living stays that are affordable and easy to arrange. Steward Place is the perfect place for those who need a comfortable home-away-from-home when families are out of town.
We welcome people of all faiths and there typically is no long waiting list. If you're looking for a different kind of assisted living, where "best" friends enjoy sharing a cup of coffee, relaxing on the front porch, or laughing at a joke, come and visit us.
