Mission Statement: St. Paul's is spiritually guided to help seniors lead enriched lives through excellent and innovative services.
Vision statement: We envision a world where seniors have options as to where and how they live.
Since 1960, St. Paul's Senior Services has been dedicated to serving the spiritual, physical, and social needs of the elderly, fostering a culture of diversity and inclusion consistent with personal and affordable preferences. We strive to be the most outstanding and innovative provider in California. Through independent, assisted living and skilled nursing communities as well as an intergenerational day care program and Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), St. Paul's provides affordable, innovative and comprehensive programs in a non-denominational environment with great value placed on optimal independence at all stages of life. Our overall mission and vision have guided our history of innovative programs and services. We look forward to another 50 years of service to San Diego seniors and would love to give you a tour of any of our communities or programs.
The idea for St. Paul's Senior Homes & Services started in 1953 with seven years of conceptualization, feasibility studies, and fund acquisitions to establish a residential community for San Diego's elderly of modest means. Officially established in 1960, the next few decades saw St. Paul's create the most innovative and exceptional senior program provider in San Diego County. This work engaged many volunteer leaders, donors, residents, and staff, who make the world a better place through their kindness and dedication.
In October 2014, the Board of Trustees voted to change the name of St. Paul's Senior Homes & Services to St. Paul's Senior Services. Although a subtle change, it is one which now reflects the many services beyond residential living that St. Paul's offers.
The opening of St. Paul's Plaza in 2015 was the culmination of 55 years of hard work and determination, and our most ambitious project yet. In keeping with our reputation for innovation, the Plaza is a family-friendly retirement community and will help us serve a new generation of seniors; a generation that will not embrace retirement, but will wish to continue a vibrant community life where they are secure, feel at home, and can have fun!
As we continue to resource the needs of community seniors, we also commit to changing and meeting those needs over time. We can only do this with your support and commitment to those seniors who have made our world a better place for future generations.
