Every spring we hold recognition events for Presbyterian Senior Living (PSL) volunteers and auxiliary members to express our appreciation for all that they do to make PSL communities a special place to live and work. Volunteers come to us from a variety of sources. They include residents from our independent living, personal care, or skilled nursing center – where the idea of neighbors helping neighbors is clearly expressed.
