About Us

Uniting a Community Since 1921

founders standing at original entrance

Orchard Ridge was established over 100 years ago, and community is at the core of who we are.

Since the beginning, we have been a non-profit organization. We are not a big company or part of a franchise. Instead, our policies are governed by a board of directors comprised of locals who care about those we serve. This allows us to reinvest our resources in resident services, providing a home that is exceptional in care, beautiful in its environment, and offered to all.

We have never asked a senior to leave due to lack of finances. When their life savings are exhausted, our residents can rest assured that we will still take care of all their needs. This promise is made possible because of the generous support of member churches, local businesses, individual donors and volunteers.

We would like to thank the following groups for their passionate support of Orchard Ridge and the seniors we serve.
