Why Support Atherton
Compassion Starts with You
At Atherton, we believe that home should never be taken away because someone has outlived their savings. For more than a century, we have kept a sacred promise: once you join our community, you will never be asked to leave because you can no longer afford your care.
This commitment is rare. Most retirement communities depend on residents’ ability to pay. But Atherton is different. Our donors make it possible for residents to remain in the place they call home, surrounded by friends, purpose, and dignity — no matter what life brings.
