More than 65 years ago, a small group of individuals in Southern California made a bold commitment: to build an organization that would help older adults continue to lead rich, purposeful lives. What was originally Southern California Presbyterian Homes is now be.group. Over the decades we have expanded from one fledgling community in La Jolla to 35 communities serving thousands of older adults throughout the state. Faith-based in our roots, we remain committed to providing superior-quality communities and services for seniors of all backgrounds, ethnicities and spiritual beliefs. While what we do has evolved to meet the changing needs of new generations, we stay true to the ideals of our founders.

As one of the country's largest nonprofit providers of senior living communities, our dedicated, well-trained staff are dedicated to help our residents and clients discover new ways to embrace life's possibilities and new options for exploring their potential. Southern California Presbyterian Homes became be.group on April 26, 2011, to better reflect this mission. It's a name and a philosophy that we believe sums up everything we've been, everything we are today and everything we aspire to be in the future. Our vision, like the vision of our founders, begins and ends with the people we serve. We're here to help seniors be who they want to be: themselves.
