]]> “It was years ago but I remember it like it was yesterday. I was a newer member of the Board of Presbyterian Villages of Michigan and was particularly interested in what we were doing for seniors in the City of Detroit. I arranged for a visit to our then newer Village of Brush Park Manor Paradise Valley. In addition to touring this impressive facility, I sat down with several residents to hear from them how they were finding the Village.

I gave them a little of my background but told them I really wanted to hear about them and their life in the Village.  Immediately one gentleman looked at me and said, “Mr. Peterson, you don’t understand.  Until I moved here, I lived several blocks from here in an old apartment building.  The building was not safe, I had several locks on my door, there was crime in the neighborhood and gangs in the area.  I was afraid to go outside.  Here I am safe, I have a beautiful apartment, wonderful neighbors and everything I need. This is the nicest place I’ve ever lived.”

That made a lasting impression on me which continues to remind me of the positive difference PVM is making every day on the lives of the thousands of seniors we serve around Michigan.”

Bob’s experiences, like that, over the years have inspired him and his wife, Sue, to include PVM in their estate plan. 

“We want to help ensure that PVM will always provide quality housing and compassionate services for older adults.  It brings us joy to know our commitment will help future generations find not just housing but a true home.”
