| Over 50 years ago, when The Presbyterian Home of High Point was chartered, visionary men and women dreamed of a 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 organizations, it has earned the highest admiration from its residents and the highest ranking among its peers.
This web site is naturally devoted to River Landing at Sandy Ridge. But you can also learn about our valued associates—a network of organizations dedicated to seniors and senior living.
Our History
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 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.
The Presbyterian Home of High Point has become a hallmark of retirement in North Carolina. This is evidenced by the fact that the facility was the first in the southeast to be accredited. Scotia Village located in Laurinburg, 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.
As a result of The Presbyterian Home of High Point having a waiting list and being land locked, which limited its ability to expand, the idea of an additional community in High Point was born. After a great deal of planning and organization River Landing at Sandy Ridge admitted its first residents in January 2003.
All of the eligible communities of The Presbyterian Homes, Inc. have been accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Services (CARF)--Continuing Care Accreditation Commission (CCAC). This special honor and designation is held by only about ten percent of the communities across the country.
The Presbyterian Homes provides approximately 1100 residences and has appoximately 1100 residents from the Triad to the Sandhills.
