Caring is at our heart.
Your generosity makes it possible.

As a faith-based organization, we continue to provide care for older adults even after their personal resources are exhausted. In keeping with our mission, we accept Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, and other forms of payment. This can only be accomplished with the financial support of our wonderful donors.

Hearthstone Communities is a not-for-profit 501 (c)(3) organization.

Charitable Giving

Since the founding of Homestead Communities in 1886, we’ve invested to provide for multiple generations of residents. That investment has been made possible through the generosity of people who saw the need and responded from the heart. As we envision the investments needed for the next generations, we hope that you will see your opportunity to participate.

Charitable Giving. There are a variety of ways in which you can help Hearthstone Communities to fulfill our mission of offering hope, healing and purposeful living to older adults and children in the context of Christian communities.

Memorial Gifts. Memorial gifts are given in honor of an individual, family, or group and may be designated for a general fund or a particular program or project.

Planned Giving. Members of the Don Peasley Legacy Society are donors who have named Hearthstone Communities in their estate, will, trust, life insurance policy or gift annuity. These planned gifts ensure Hearthstone’s programs will continue into the future.
