Presbyterian Homes and Housing

Presbyterian Homes and Housing, sometimes called Presbyterian Homes of Pasco NPR, Inc., is a not-for-profit corporation at 1051 Second Avenue North in St. Petersburg, FL, that's been around since the mid-sixties, offering a variety of senior living choices for older adults and families, and you'll hear terms like "senior apartments," "retirement residence," and "assisted living facility" used often here, where they run specialized programs for seniors who need mental health or behavioral health support, plus they help with hospice care, speech therapy, and outpatient rehabilitation, serving people with different needs by offering memory care, skilled nursing care after hospital stays, board and care homes in neighborhoods, and independent living places, so you'll find community options like Fountain Inn, Blue Haven Retirement Center, Laurel Oak Lodge, Arbor Oaks at Tyrone, Azalea Manor, and Bethany Towers, all with their own styles and features. The residences cover everything from group homes for small numbers of people with live-in caregivers, to active, maintenance-free 55+ communities with social activities and resort-style amenities, and there's a focus on affordable rental housing for low, very-low, extremely low, and moderate income seniors and families, with the Presbytery of Tampa Bay and Peace River Presbytery sponsoring many communities. Residents can live fully independent in senior apartments or choose help with daily activities, meals, medication, and personal care through assisted living, and the communities include options like Burlington Tower, Presbyterian Towers Inc., Lutheran Residences of South, and Peterborough Apartments, each tailored to specific needs, while others like The Pointe Assisted Living and Westminster Shores offer both independence and extra care as needed. Presbyterian Homes and Housing manages services from independent living and personal care to Alzheimer's care, memory care suites to skilled nursing and adult day care centers, plus respite care for short-term stays, home care, and rehabilitation, and the senior living options offer basic amenities like meals, transportation, housekeeping, Wi-Fi, and room layouts that fit different lifestyles, though some services may cost extra. In their memory care communities, seniors with Alzheimer's or dementia get safe spaces with support to reduce confusion and prevent wandering, while the skilled nursing suites give round-the-clock support for complex or long-term medical needs, and the adult care centers and behavioral health programs support emotional and mental well-being for residents and their families. Presbyterian Homes and Housing promotes independence, community connection, and safety, offering board and care for small groups in neighborhood homes and continuing care retirement communities so people can age in place even as their needs change, and though the latest records show an inactive status for the corporation, its history shows years of affordable, specialized, and trusted senior housing and care throughout Florida.
