Our Retirement Communities are Different




At PHI and Presbyterian Homes, caring for people is not just a job - it's our calling. Our commitment to wholeness of body, mind and spirit is rooted in our church affiliations. At PHI we firmly believe that You should LOVE where you LIVE.




Our Mission Statement is brought to life in every PHI Community. Over 2400 PHI employees and countless volunteers are committed to providing our residents higher values and faith based compassion and we strive to meet that commitment every day.

"PHI offers Christian understanding, compassion, and a sense of belonging to those whose needs may be physical, psychological, social, financial, or spiritual in nature by providing a full range of high-quality healthcare, housing and other related community services directed primarily to the elderly and which contribute to the wholeness of body, mind and spirit."

Our Not-for-Profit Status
Being not-for-profit gives PHI the freedom to concentrate on the needs of residents first. While for-profit corporations have the dual responsibility of providing care and satisfying the needs of investors, we can be more sharply focused on meeting the needs of residents. We believe that the ability to express these higher values also enables us to attract employees and volunteers with similar values.

Our Perfect Size
PHI has the strength of a relatively large organization, and the financial resources to provide the security that older persons expect from an organization that promises to be there for as long as they need us. Our BBB+ rating by Standard and Poor's is an affirmation of the financial strength behind this promise.


Our individual facilities, however, are relatively small reflecting PHI's commitment to the personal touch. Our communities are places where the staff can know each resident as an individual, and where resident likes and dislikes are recognized and accommodated whenever possible.

Our Unique Communities
The common ingredient in every PHI location is the care and compassion articulated in the Mission Statement - everything else about each PHI community is unique. From the design of the buildings to the food service programs to the planned social and recreational activities, each PHI community has its own personality. Our residents work hand-in-hand with PHI management and staff to create the kind of communities they really want. Resident Self-Determination is how we describe the self-governance and active involvement our residents have in designing programs, participating in committees, as well as managing activities and events that direct Resident Life in each of our 14 communities.
