Pacific Retirement Services

Pacific Retirement Services is a not-for-profit group in Medford, Oregon, with a history going back over sixty years, starting right there in Medford, and what you'll find is they manage more than fifty senior living communities across several states, so they've really gotten to know what seniors want and need over the years. The Chair is Eric Sholty, the Vice Chair is William Thorndike Jr., and current Secretary/Treasurer is Carolyn Lyn Hennion, and they keep things running smoothly, while Pacific Retirement Services Foundation Inc. manages their grantmaking activities-over the past few years, they've awarded five grants totaling $51,218, and their total assets are $1,092,365. Residents can count on scheduled medication help, mobility support for walkers and wheelchairs, and twenty-four-hour supervision, along with safety features like emergency alert systems. Their staff, including English-speaking and other multilingual caregivers, assists with bathing, dressing, medication management, and transfers, and they welcome those who need non-ambulatory care or extra help. Amenities include housekeeping, laundry and dry cleaning, move-in coordination, parking, a furnished community, and communal dining with scheduled meals-plus, they sort out special dietary needs. The atmosphere is busy in a good way, with daily activities, community-sponsored events, movie nights, walking paths, gardens, and chances to stay active outdoors. Inside, you'll see rooms with phones, furnishings, and shared spaces that let folks meet each other, swap stories, and find a sense of belonging. Pacific Retirement Services coordinates with local healthcare providers for medical care, and offers different types of accommodations like assisted living, memory care, independent living, nursing homes, continuing care retirement communities, and affordable senior housing through Community Housing options. Their management company, PRS Management, Inc., handles consulting and support for other senior communities too, so their reach stretches far beyond their base in Medford. In all their communities, there's a nearly 2-to-1 employee-to-resident ratio, which means plenty of hands to help and enough time for genuine connections. Pacific Retirement Services says they're committed to serving seniors no matter their financial situation, reinvesting any profits to improve what they can offer, and the places they run always feel friendly-with familiar faces, inside jokes, shared interests, and lots of little moments that make each day count. Over the years, they've worked on Life Plan Communities and Community Housing, giving people the chance to live in a way that feels comfortable, practical, and even a little vacation-like at times, with gardens to walk and activities to join, so there's always something worthwhile to do.
