PRESBYTERIAN HOMES & SERVICES -
THEN AND NOW
The original purpose of Presbyterian Homes-to meet the needs of retiring pastors and missionaries after a lifetime of service-was inspired by a call to serve others out of gratitude for God's goodness. That purpose was embodied, in 1955, in the organization's first community in Arden Hills, Minnesota. More than fifty years later, Presbyterian Homes & Services (PHS) has established over thirty communities for older adults of all backgrounds throughout Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin.
Innovation and leadership have been Presbyterian Homes' watchwords through its years of growth. PHS has created an unparalleled continuum of care, which allows residents to move from independent living to assisted living to short- or long-term care as necessary. At the foundation of this continuum is the compassionate, life-affirming hard work of staff, donors, and volunteer partners.
True to its founding vision and modern-day mission, PHS has cultivated unique partnerships, implemented innovative programs, and created significant projects. PHS established Senior Housing Partners and Senior Lifestyle Design to provide development, marketing and interior design expertise for PHS and for other organizations. As a means of addressing the shortage in nurses (partly in its own care centers), International Nurse Recruitment was founded to assist nurses from the Philippines to come to the United States for employment. PHS has partnered with churches, hospitals, and other senior housing providers to meet the need for senior living options.
Throughout its decades of progress, compassion and faith have been the guiding principles for Presbyterian Homes. Inspired by God's love and word, it has stayed the course in answering its biblical call to serve older adults.
