Across the nation, Pacific Retirement Services (PRS) is known as the leader in the senior-living sector. Its staff, with nearly 200 years of combined experience, knows what it takes to develop, construct, and manage Continuing Care Retirement Communities. Equally important, PRS understands its clientele (today’s independent-minded seniors) and puts their needs and desires first and foremost in everything.
Brian McLemore, PRS Executive Vice President of Development says, “We learned a very long time ago that if you create communities where the residents’ best interests always come first, those communities will be successful. And by ‘successful’ I mean, they will be beautiful places to live; comfortable places to live; peopled with interesting residents and friendly, talented staff; and outfitted with latest technology in wellness, health care, and everything else.”
“When I say ‘successful’ I also mean that the community will be a place where people really want to live—a place where they are choosing to move to because of all of the wonderful things it offers. With Mirabella Portland and its sister community Mirabella Seattle, we know we’ve achieved that. We’re almost sold out in both locations, well ahead of schedule, and we have long waiting lists of people who know they want to move in sometime in the future. Our Mirabella Philosophy has become so popular that we are developing a third one in the San Francisco Bay area.”
“Another aspect of success,” says Brian, “is that we deliver everything to residents at the best possible price point. Because we have a family of affiliated communities, we’re able to take advantage of economies of scale, which thereby enables us to pass along savings to residents.”
“And,” says Brian, “Because we’ve chosen to make all of our communities not-for-profit, we are mandated to take all profits and reinvest them in the community itself. This is a very different model than the for-profit model, where profits are taken out and divided among shareholders. At PRS communities, our residents are, in a sense, our shareholders.”
