Pilgrim Place

Pilgrim Place A vibrant and inclusive senior community committed to justice, peace and care of the Earth. Environmental stewardship is a community priority at Pilgrim Place.

Pilgrim Place is an intentional, caring multi-level senior living community striving to be socially responsible; environmentally sustainable; diverse in race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and religion; and committed to excellence in health care and developing services that foster meaningful growth and dignity for all who live, work, and volunteer here. Pilgrim Place is a community of per

sons who have dedicated their lives to improving the lives of others and continue to do so in retirement. Woven into daily activities and practices at Pilgrim Place are themes of service to each other, support of local and global peace, advocacy for social justice efforts and a passion for environmental stewardship. Intentional acts of service, friendship and activism are at the core of our ethos. Underpinning all of this is a commitment to racial, sexual and religious diversity. Sharing this commitment, the administrative team, the Board of Directors and residents unified in collaboration to significantly reduce the energy costs and carbon footprint of the whole community through three LEED certified buildings, the installation of over 2,000 solar panels, initiating solar power and since 2000 a 50% reduction in water use. Licensed with the State of California as a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), Pilgrim Place is a type of retirement community where a continuum of care - independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing care - are offered. At Pilgrim Place your future health care needs are secure.

This spring, two Napier Fellows returned to Pilgrim Place to share about their respective work in social justice with residents and friends. 2025 Napier Awardee Natasha Yen presented on May 12 about her youth empowerment and community development efforts in Soweto, South Africa. A few weeks later, 2011 Napier Awardee Takako Mino presented about Musizi University, the first liberal arts college in Uganda, which she co-founded and that is enrolling its first class this fall. Takako’s Napier fellowship project focused on teaching debate to young students in Uganda, sharpening their skills in analyzing and influencing current events. Through their fellowship projects, both Natasha and Takako directly benefited from the generous support of The Napier Initiative, a partnership between Pilgrim Place and The Claremont Colleges that encourages leadership for social change through intergenerational learning.

On May 14, nearly 30 Pilgrim Place residents shared their artistic talents at the first-ever collective exhibition of resident paintings. Hosted by the Scrooby Committee at Abernethy Dining Room, the event was called “Fire to Ice: Kaleidoscope of Styles,” and represented a wide breadth of media and color. “Those who attended were amazed by the sheer number of painters and the immense talent we have in our community,” said Lisa Oglesby Hamilton, who serves as Resident Creative Director of the Pilgrim Place Painters’ Guild. Lisa, who started painting in retirement, noted that research shows creating and appreciating art contributes to longevity. “Pilgrim Place is an arts colony, and this environment inspires and energizes the creative process. The artists really enjoyed sharing their art with their fellow residents, and we have even more residents who create in other art forms, including pottery, weaving, stained glass, photography, poetry, playwriting, and more.”
