WESTMINSTER TOWERS RETIREMENT COMMUNITY
ROCK HILL, SOUTH CAROLINA

HISTORY

Westminster Presbyterian Center, Inc. was established for the purpose of operating a non-profit, church sponsored, Christian retirement and health care center for Westminster Presbyterian Church of Rock Hill, South Carolina and the larger community. What began as a vision in the early 1970’s became reality in June 1989 as the Towers opened its doors for its first residents; those who may have retired from work but not from life! In 1997, Westminster Towers became the first retirement campus in South Carolina to be Accredited by the national Continuing Care Accreditation Commission, and remains one of approximately 14% nationally that are accredited today. In July 2001, construction of a replacement facility for the skilled nursing/rehabilitation center was completed to include 22 additional beds. This project received national design awards and remains a beautiful addition to our campus of services. Today, our community offers 138 Independent Apartments, 29 Private Assisted Living Apartments, and a 66-bed Health and Rehabilitation Center, which is Medicare Certified.

In 2008, two new programs were introduced adding to our list of support services:

• Our Campus Home Health Program was implemented to assist residents with support services while remaining in Independent Apartments at The Towers.
• HomeBridge was implemented to provide services to our neighbors in the surrounding Rock Hill area community that wish to currently remain in their homes and have a support system of services. www.homebridgeservices.org

MISSION

Westminster Towers Retirement Community, an extension of the ministry of Westminster Presbyterian Church, was founded on the traditions and values of the Presbyterian Church in America. Our mission is to provide a continuum of care for older adults, which promotes a quality lifestyle in an environment that meets our residents’ spiritual, physical, emotional and social needs.

VISION

To provide a caring, high quality environment, which promotes independence, wellness, and mutual support throughout a continuum of care including independent living with services, assisted living and intermediate/skilled nursing care. To meet the residents’ needs and reach out to our surrounding community when appropriate without jeopardizing our mission to our residents.

VALUES

• Respect
  Acknowledge ones worth without reference to race, age, sex, socioeconomic status, or religious affiliation. This respect extends to self and all those with whom we come in contact, especially co-workers, residents, and business associates.
• Service
  Identifying, responding, and when possible, anticipating the needs of others. It is the reason for our existence and an integral part of each person’s job.
• Excellence
  Performing ones job with a commitment to exceptional quality. Excellence can be achieved when each individual is dedicated to going beyond the standard of the level of superiority.
• Responsiveness
  Reacting to suggestions and appeals in a timely and consistent manner. A responsiveness environment charges each individual, regardless of position, with the responsibility of offering better ways to improve the efficiency of operations.
• Enrichment
  Making the environment richer, more meaningful or more rewarding. We will endeavor to provide opportunities that nurture personal growth of the staff and residents.
