Presbyterian Villas of Lehigh

Presbyterian Villas of Lehigh, found in Lehigh Acres, Florida, is a community focused on senior care and affordable housing for older adults, with roots going back to 1977 when Presbyterian Homes of South Florida Inc. set it up as a nonprofit and it's stayed committed to the same mission since then, giving low-rent, government-assisted living spaces where folks find safe, comfortable rooms and meals planned by chefs who keep nutrition in mind, so people don't have to stress about where they'll live or how they'll pay. The Villas has assisted living, independent living, and memory care options, including dementia-friendly resources for those who need them, and plenty of activities like social gatherings, physical programs, and mental engagement events so the residents don't feel left out and can stay active in body and mind within a friendly, faith-based environment grounded in Presbyterian values. The campus keeps to high standards-with all its program money going right to operations and services, no board member taking a salary, and strict oversight using regular audits, independent board governance, and clear conflict of interest policies-which helps build trust for families worried about transparency and quality of care, as does the three-star charity rating based on financial oversight. The community keeps costs down by sticking with its nonprofit status, running fundraising events, accepting both one-time and regular donations, managing everything with policies for donor data, text-to-donate, live event displays, crowdfunding, APIs, and integration with online donation tools, so there's financial stability and more options for folks wanting to help support senior housing. Presbyterian Villas of Lehigh has received recognition with the Best of Senior Living Award and Best of Senior Living All Star Award for 2024, due to the happy residents and good care, along with helpful, joyful staff who greet everyone kindly, so it's earned its reputation in the area for strong resident support and a welcoming feel, with resources and information-like downloadable brochures and a detailed community overview-made easy to find through their partnerships, including with A Place For Mom. This organization focuses on helping elderly people who may have trouble with housing costs, offering them a dignified place to live, care when needed, and a sense of belonging in a religiously-affiliated community that values accountability while giving practical help to seniors in Lehigh Acres.
