Why Lancaster?

There’s a reason U.S. News & World Report named Lancaster the #1 place to retire. This city has it all—serene countryside, a thriving downtown scene, and easy access to major cities. Plus, we’re close to small-town favorites like Lititz, Willow Street, and Ephrata.

Caught the travel bug? With six international airports nearby, the whole world is just a flight away. If you want to stay local, Lancaster City is full of art galleries, restaurants, and even the oldest farmer’s market in America! 

Fill your days with: 

  • Theater
  • Amish baked goods
  • Antiques
  • Hiking
  • Gorgeous farmland
  • Live music
  • Boutiques
  • History & museums
  • Coffee

Frequently asked questions

Lancaster is full of CCRCs, but none quite like Woodcrest Villa. Our culture is vibrant, and residents embrace that every day. We support the active. The adventurous. The “one more game of pickleball” sort of people. If that’s you, we’d love to show you how fun retirement can be at our Lancaster independent living campus.

Lancaster is a hub of activity, and we promise you one thing—you’ll never be bored. If you’re a theater-lover, stop by Sight & Sound or The Fulton.

While Woodcrest Villa is an independent living community, our care campus (Trillium Place) is just down the road. Here you can receive the highest-quality rehabilitation, short-term care, and long-term care. We promise your health is in good hands. In fact, Newsweek ranked Trillium Place one of the top nursing homes in the state!
