Pilgrim Place

Pilgrim Place A vibrant and inclusive senior community committed to justice, peace and care of the Earth. Environmental stewardship is a community priority at Pilgrim Place.

Pilgrim Place is an intentional, caring multi-level senior living community striving to be socially responsible; environmentally sustainable; diverse in race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and religion; and committed to excellence in health care and developing services that foster meaningful growth and dignity for all who live, work, and volunteer here. Pilgrim Place is a community of persons who have dedicated their lives to improving the lives of others and continue to do so in retirement. Woven into daily activities and practices at Pilgrim Place are themes of service to each other, support of local and global peace, advocacy for social justice efforts and a passion for environmental stewardship. Intentional acts of service, friendship and activism are at the core of our ethos. Underpinning all of this is a commitment to racial, sexual and religious diversity. Sharing this commitment, the administrative team, the Board of Directors and residents unified in collaboration to significantly reduce the energy costs and carbon footprint of the whole community through three LEED certified buildings, the installation of over 2,000 solar panels, initiating solar power and since 2000 a 50% reduction in water use. Licensed with the State of California as a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), Pilgrim Place is a type of retirement community where a continuum of care - independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing care - are offered. At Pilgrim Place your future health care needs are secure.

Festival at Pilgrim Place is about creating special memories, and Debbie Lamb shared some from her family dating back to 2015: “My kids Isabella and Michaela grew up at the Festival after their grandparents, Jim and Joann Lamb, moved to Pilgrim Place in 2001. We have such great memories there, from riding the Festival boat with Grandma Lamb, to Tom Ambrogi excitedly stamping little hands at the Glue-In, to volunteering as young teens as booth helpers and as pie helpers with Grandpa Lamb. Isabella now teaches high school, and Michaela is a college senior… it was such fun to attend so many Festivals over the years.”
