In a world of political upheaval, financial unpredictability, stunning technological advances, dramatic demographic shifts, extreme weather, political polarization, and an exploding cacophony of consumer choices, media options, personal causes, latest trends, Atherton consistently stands and withstands the tests of time. Step onto the campus and you can almost feel the peace that pervades and protects Atherton from the chaos that rages outside.

This year, Atherton will mark its 104thanniversary. In terms of its Quality, Atherton has never delivered better housing options, better amenities, better food, or better services to our residents. In terms of its Finances, Atherton marked 2017 as one of the best years in our history; and we find ourselves in a more solid financial position than we have enjoyed in nearly 40 years. (For more detail, our 2017 audited financials will be posted on www.abh.org once this year’s audit is completed.) In terms of its People, Atherton has never had a larger, more skilled, more efficient, or a more capable staff. Recently designated as a “Best Places to Work” by the such and such for such and such, Atherton continues to make workplace improvements, and to make the staff a priority so that they, in turn, will put residents first. In terms of our Buildings and Grounds, Atherton is investing more and more to maintain, beautify, and improve our campus. This is an important part of keeping our Promise to Atherton residents for years to come. Through two World Wars, The Great Depression, earthquakes, riots, and a host of changes, obstacles, and challenges, we have seen Atherton forge ahead, steady as she goes, with a clear vision, wonderful residents, an optimistic spirit, and a welcoming heart.

What does all this mean for you? Confidence. Peace of Mind. Atherton has been a great value for generations. God-willing, that will never change.
