Since 1943
Providing places like home since 1943
For more than half a century, the Presbyterian Homes have been caring for elderly loved ones from the communities it serves throughout northwest Pennsylvania. This neighbor-helping-neighbor program began in 1943, when a group of area residents realized there was a growing need to provide care for older individuals. Their concern led to the establishment of the first of the Presbyterian Homes, located in Cambridge Springs. That initial residence served 25 men and women.
Through the years, the Presbyterian Homes' program of caring has expanded one-by-one into a network of outstanding facilities. In comfortable surroundings, the dedicated staffs of these exceptional homes give gentle, personal, tender care to God's aging people. Every day in the homes throughout the network, the self-esteem and dignity of each individual is nurtured and protected.
The Presbyterian Homes Network of Care includes facilities designed to fit comfortable into the communities they serve. Some were once majestic family residences. Some are renovations of former school buildings. Others were built for the specific purpose of serving as comfortable homes for seniors.
Together, the Presbyterian Homes have served more than 6500 residents with a highly qualified, full- and part-time staff of over 400 professionals.

Levels of CareWho do we serve?
Presbyterian Homes provide two levels of care to their over 400 residents; levels designed to meet the differing needs and physical conditions of the residents.
ASSISTED LIVING (Personal) CARE - The many types of assistance provided at this level are deeply valued by residents and their families. Professional staff members are on hand around-the-clock to help with such needs as bathing, dressing, medication administration and a wide variety of other personal services. The residents in assisted living/personal care is 88. If you are recovering from a setback and need some tender loving care, or just need a little help to make your day less stressful, this level of care is for you.
NURSING CARE - Residents who are not in need of hospitalization can receive professionally supervised nursing care and related medical and health services 24-hours-a-day. Individualized care is available for those residents whose needs are ongoing. Te assistance is based on age, illness, disease, injury, convalescence or physical or mental condition. Services are ordered and administered under the direction of a physician. Care is provided by professional personnel such as registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, certified nurse assistants, physical and occupational therapists, speech pathologists and other professionals.
What is Benevolent Care?
While many people can afford the cost of living at the Presbyterian Homes, others cannot. Benevolent care has always been important to Presbyterian Homes. As the number of elderly people in need increases, the necessary funding to cover the cost of providing their care increases. The annual disparity between Presbyterian Homes' cost of care and what the 150 assisted living/personal care residents are able to pay has grown from $100,000 six years ago to over $700,000 this year. In order to carry on the tradition of benevolence, Presbyterian Homes has underwritten close to $2 million over the last decade to care for people who were without adequate financial resources.
