Pilgrim Place is a verified senior living community with a high community score of 9.3, and it can support up to 454 residents, which is quite a number of people to live together, and there's a real mix of options since they offer independent living, assisted living, memory care in the Rauch Houses, skilled nursing in their Health Services Center that locals say is one of the finest around, and even a continuing care retirement community set up so someone can get more care as their needs change without having to move far. The campus covers 32 acres and has natural surroundings with colorful plants, so there's plenty of greenery to look at and quiet spots for sitting or walking. The Health Services Center and memory care services are both set up not only for residents but are open to folks from the nearby community as well, which means people who don't live there can benefit too.
Residents lead many of their own activities and can join in planned day trips, so there are always things going on, and they have scheduled daily events plus a big annual Festival that's popular for its crafts, music, and food, drawing folks from all around. For those who like working with their hands, there's a stain glass shop and a wood working shop, and for those who love swimming, the pool is well-maintained and a favorite spot. Help is available for daily living needs like bathing, dressing, transferring, and medication management, and there's always staff around because supervision is 24 hours a day, day and night. Respite care is available if someone just needs a short-term stay or extra help now and then.
There's move-in coordination to make arriving less stressful, and they also provide community-run transportation, linen and housekeeping services to keep things clean and comfortable, and a weekly schedule of fitness programs for staying active. The food services pay special attention to diets, offering diabetic meals and support for special dietary restrictions, and that's important for those with health needs. The two Rauch Memory Care Houses provide private and semi-private rooms for people living with dementia or Alzheimer's in a secure and supportive setting.
Pilgrim Place takes a welcoming and inclusive approach, with a focus on peace, justice, and sustainability, and there's a strong sense of social change and community action among residents and staff alike. Accessibility is considered, so it's easier for residents and visitors to get around the campus and common areas. There are concierge services to help with daily details and a range of amenities to make life straightforward. Every aspect, from daily events to medical care, is set up to match many different needs, so residents can find support for whatever stage they're at in life.
