Pilgrim Place

Pilgrim Place A vibrant and inclusive senior community committed to justice, peace and care of the Earth. Environmental stewardship is a community priority at Pilgrim Place.

Pilgrim Place is an intentional, caring multi-level senior living community striving to be socially responsible; environmentally sustainable; diverse in race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and religion; and committed to excellence in health care and developing services that foster meaningful growth and dignity for all who live, work, and volunteer here. Pilgrim Place is a community of persons who have dedicated their lives to improving the lives of others and continue to do so in retirement. Woven into daily activities and practices at Pilgrim Place are themes of service to each other, support of local and global peace, advocacy for social justice efforts and a passion for environmental stewardship. Intentional acts of service, friendship and activism are at the core of our ethos. Underpinning all of this is a commitment to racial, sexual and religious diversity. Sharing this commitment, the administrative team, the Board of Directors and residents unified in collaboration to significantly reduce the energy costs and carbon footprint of the whole community through three LEED certified buildings, the installation of over 2,000 solar panels, initiating solar power and since 2000 a 50% reduction in water use. Licensed with the State of California as a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), Pilgrim Place is a type of retirement community where a continuum of care - independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing care - are offered. At Pilgrim Place your future health care needs are secure.

Last week, second and third-grade students from Sycamore Elementary School visited Pilgrim Place for an educational field trip. Residents in our Rocks and Shells area within Pendleton Arts & Crafts, as well as the Tongva Gathering Place, shared interactive learning opportunities with these young people. Students were able to touch, feel, and explore various rocks and gems that they had studied, while also learning about games and traditions from the Tongva people, such as the pump drill, ring toss, and stave game. Teacher Billy Halverson said of the experience, “Pilgrim Place is such a vibrant community that helped us enrich our class. We also loved the intergenerational interactions that these residents offered, and are grateful for the resources in the community around us.”
