Rachel Phillips's Company Details
What a journey the last century has been.Western Home Communities is a Life Plan Community (formerly continuing care retirement community). It's a place where people 55+ can pursue the plans they have for their lives, to create the most fulfilling lifestyle possible - and that's our mission: Western Home Communities is a charitable Christian service organization that assertively creates fulfilling lifestyles for those we serve, their families and our employees. We started in Cedar Falls, Iowa, as The Western Old People's Home in 1912, a ministry of the Evangelical Association. At the time of our 75th anniversary in 1987, about 250 residents lived in the original building with its five additions. Today, in late 2015, south campus encompasses 150 acres; 166 villas have been built, more are on the way, and a "center complex" is under construction to include 75 independent living apartments at Prairie Wind, a wellness and community center called Jorgensen Plaza for Well-Being, and 60 restorative suites for post-hospital stays. A non-profit organization for its entire 103 years, Western Home Communities provides nearly $1 million each year to continue providing care for residents who have outlived their financial resources. Supporters of Western Home Foundation help make that charitable work possible.
