Support Our Mission
Generosity in Action
The Easton Home is fortunate to have residents, families, volunteers and staff who are committed to ensuring and enhancing the quality of life for all residents – now and in the future.
Gifts to The Easton Home over the years have been as varied as the people we serve and have been made directly by individuals, churches, corporations, and foundations. Donors have supported major initiatives like our Memory Lane project and improvements to our Courtyard Garden. Special gifts from family members and friends enabled us to create The Easton Home Fund for charitable care. Many other gifts, such as those for resident recreation programs and equipment, outdoor patio furniture, and brain health computer systems, have been generously provided by many Easton Home friends, including staff through our employee giving campaigns.
In addition, gifts to The Easton Home Fund help to provide charitable care to those residents who have outlived their personal financial resources. No one has ever been asked to leave the Presbyterian Senior Living system of care because they had outlived their resources. This means if a person does not divest or give away assets, we have an unwavering history of keeping our commitment to the people we serve. In fact, The Easton Home provided $275,978 for uncompensated care in 2008.
If you or a loved one have benefited in any way from our services, we invite you to consider extending the gift of quality care and quality of life in any number of ways.

As with every not-for-profit organization, we rely on the compassionate support of our residents and their families and friends, as well as the contributions provided by countless other organizations committed to the care of the elderly. There are always needs to be filled and services that require financing beyond internal budgetary capabilities, so we are dedicated in continuing our work to raise the funds needed to fulfill our mission at every level, down to every last resident at The Easton Home.
