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.

Pilgrim Place is proud to continue its partnership with the Pomona Inland Valley Martin Luther King Jr. Project. Last Sunday, several residents attended the 43rd Annual MLK Jr. Celebration and Scholarship Awards, representing Pilgrim Place and our commitment to the values of justice, peace, and care for the earth. Building upon King’s vision of “Beloved Community,” resident Louilyn Hargett shared, “Pilgrim Place reflects Beloved Community when the unexpected happens and the Spirit descends upon the gathered in joy and celebration.”

The simple joy of creating. Ceramics is a longtime resident favorite at Pilgrim Place, one of many creative studios including weaving, quilting, woodworking, painting, pottery, jewelry, needlework, rosemaling, knitting, and stained glass. These handcrafted pieces are often shared beyond our campus, sold at our annual two-day Festival and throughout the Claremont community.

At Pilgrim Place's Annual Town Meeting last Thursday, Festival Committee Chair Richard Bentley presented a check for nearly $308,000 to support the organization’s Resident Health and Support Program (RHSP). Accepted by RHSP Committee Chair Janet Vandevender, the check represents net proceeds from the annual Festival event in November, as well as the First Saturday Sales events and other efforts benefitting this program. Gifts to RHSP ensure that all residents continue their lives (which have been dedicated to justice, peace, and care for the earth) at Pilgrim Place with dignity and care.
