We've been residents of Pilgrim Place for several years and we chose them because at that time, they're only accepting missionaries, ministers and heads of non-profit agencies. Since then, the admission procedures have changed and it's now open to anyone above 60 years of age. They have a board that's very interested of our being and takes good care of us. The staff is responsive and very supportive of us for the most part. We have about 250 residents in all levels of care, the residents are progressive thinkers and are caring and active. The amenities include a swimming pool, a fitness center, and healthcare center and clinic where I can call a nurse any time day or night. We also have a pendant so that if I need help I can push that button and somebody will come. The dining service is outstanding, and the community is very open to the fact that residents come up with great ideas for being concerned about world affairs, promoting diversity within our community. We also have Eucharistic circles on a weekly basis, people come in to help us with yoga and Tai chi. we're not a chandelier place and we don't have golf courses and such. We're democratic in a sense that when we go to the dining hall, a computer scrambles us up so every day and we get to know each other that way. So we don’t have cliques forming around the dinner table so that's really wonderful. The food and service are exceptional, we've had really nice things like lamb shanks and Cornish game hens.

This is a highly rated non profit CCRC community for retired folks from the clergy or other recognized helping professions (e.g. YWCA). It's a group of like professionals who share a great deal in common and demonstrate an unusual caring for one another. The assisted living section is especially excellent with incredible caring staff. Highly recommended.

We have lived here for ten years. It is an "intentional community," which means that we strive to know each other, to help each other when needed, and to serve our community and our world. We wouldn't live any other place.
