Since 1945, when the Hoobler property at The Village of Redford Senior Living Community was acquired by the Detroit Presbytery for a price substantially below market value, each one of the Presbyterian Villages of Michigan communities has benefited from private gifts. In fact, many of our donors in the 21st century are carrying on a tradition of giving started by family members generations ago.

Whether earmarked for a specific purpose or for general support, private generosity continues to make the critical difference. It's the reason why we can offer essential services; bridge the gap between what government support covers and what care actually costs; continually improve our facilities; keep care affordable; provide opportunities for spiritual growth; and weather both economic downturns, as well as state and federal cutbacks.

We invite you to make a gift to our 2008 funding priorities:

Presbyterian Villages of Michigan envisions a future in which aging is not synonymous with ill health but rather a richer quality of life. To make this new vision of aging a reality, Presbyterian Villages of Michigan has embraced a philosophy that empowers people to achieve the highest possible quality of life. As such, we have built two Green Houses on The Village of Redford Senior Living Community campus. This project is the newest innovative concept for frail seniors who need 24-hour licensed skilled nursing care, but want a home-like setting. Each Green House  offers ten private rooms with private baths, a large community room, and meals cooked right in the home. These Green Houses invert the priorities of a traditional institutional nursing home, in which the delivery of medical care or nursing is the primary determinant of architecture, activities, and atmosphere. The home part of nursing home is emphasized, and primacy is given to the elder's quality of life.

Wellness Program Fund – Gifts to this endowment go toward our Bloom! Wellness Progam which brings Mind, Body, and Spiritual health programs to many of our PVM residents. It is our goal to have Wellness programs available to all PVM residents at all of the Villages. Gifts to this fund will be used for all aspects of maintenance and growth of our Bloom! Wellness Program, and will improve the overall health and well-being of our residents. 

Benevolence Endowment – Gifts to this endowment go toward assisting those PVM residents who have outlived their resources so they may continue to call PVM their home. Funds from this endowment are also used for general resident care, programs, and services at all PVM Villages. Gifts to this endowment truly change residents lives forever. 

PVM Fund – Gifts to this fund will be used in a variety of areas within the many Presbyterian Villages of Michigan Villages. From helping to sponsor a Village event to assisting Villages in meeting residents' needs on a daily basis, this is a critcal fund to PVM. It is our goal to build this fund so that PVM residents, families, and employees can count on PVM to meet all significant needs that come our way.
