Generosity in Action

Green Ridge Village is fortunate to have residents, families, volunteers and staff who are committed to ensuring and enhancing the quality of life for all residents at every level of service – now and in the future.

Gifts to Green Ridge Village over the years have been as varied as the people we serve and have been made directly by our residents, their family members, the Auxiliary, churches and other friends.  The fitness center was funded in part with contributions.  The chaplain’s office and our hospice rooms in the health center were donated by grateful families.  A van was donated by a resident and Employee Giving Campaign funds were used to make it wheelchair accessible.

In addition, gifts to the Green Ridge Village Fund help to provide charitable care to those residents who have outlived their personal financial resources. No one has ever been asked to leave the Presbyterian Senior Living system of care because they had outlived their resources. This means if a person does not divest or give away assets, we have an unwavering history of keeping our commitment to the people we serve.  In fact, Green Ridge Village provided $1,897,124 for uncompensated care in 2010.

If you or a loved one have benefited in any way from our services, we invite you to consider extending the gift of quality care and quality of life in any number of ways.
