"We love living at River Landing! We're a family and care about one another. There are so many activities to keep us busy, entertained, and happy... cards, woodworking, knitting, quilting, swimming, and golf! And there is always someone to enjoy it with. We are proud to call River Landing OUR home."

- Bob & Betty Amos

Over 50 years ago, when The Presbyterian Home of High Point was chartered, visionary men and women dreamed of a special place that would meet the physical, spiritual and social aspirations of mature adults. Now, when visitors learn River Landing at Sandy Ridge is a Presbyterian Homes' community, nothing else needs to be said. As one of the country's most respected continuing care retirement communities, River Landing has earned the highest admiration from its residents and the highest ranking among its peers.

The mission of caring for older adults began in 1944 when Albemarle Presbytery presented an overture to Synod to investigate the advisability of establishing a home for the aged. At the meeting of the Synod in 1946, a resolution was passed which created the first Board of Trustees. The Presbyterian Home of High Point was incorporated on December 17, 1946 and opened on January 21, 1952.

After its opening, The Presbyterian Home of High Point became a hallmark of retirement living in North Carolina. This is evidenced by the fact that the The Presbyterian Home of High Point was the first in the southeast to be accredited. Scotia Village, a sister community located in Laurinburg and adjacent to St. Andrews Presbyterian College, opened in 1988 serving primarily eastern North Carolina. Glenaire in Cary, located in the heart of Cary, opened in 1993.

Following the success of The Presbyterian Home of High Point, the idea of an additional retirement community in High Point was born. After a great deal of planning and organization, River Landing at Sandy Ridge opened its doors to its first residents in January 2003.
