Mission and compassion –
it’s who we are and why we’re here.

It all started with one woman and a need.

Ninety years old and alone, Alice Kalb was in search of a safe, nurturing place that would allow her to continue to live the life she wanted to live, a place that valued her spiritual needs and where strangers would treat her like family – a place she could call home.

When a community of compassionate Christian leaders from the Presbyterian Synod heard Alice’s story, it stirred an innate responsibility to serve.  Within months, the group had combined its resources to purchase land and build a structure that would not only provide a new home for Alice, but would also plant the seeds for what we know today as PMMA (Presbyterian Manors of Mid-America®).

Now, more than 70 years later, PMMA® remains driven by that unwavering duty to provide quality senior services guided by Christian values.  In contrast to for-profit senior-living corporations, our primary focus is not on creating revenue, it’s on fulfilling the needs of those we serve.  It’s a mission that has been supported by generations of benefactors whose generosity has enabled us to grow from that single building into a thriving network of 15 campuses serving residents across Kansas and Missouri, and a brand-new campus under development in Colorado Springs.

You are the difference.
Thank you!

PMMA exists with the help of people who believe in a mission to serve and make a difference in the lives of others by sharing gifts of time, talent and treasure.  And you can, too.

If you have the time, stop by one of our communities and get to know our residents. Talk to them. Listen to their stories. Provide them with a little company. No gesture is too small to have a lasting effect.

If you have a talent, share it. Give a performance, lead a discussion or teach a new skill. Learning, experiencing and enjoying new things is an important part of life regardless of age.

If you have the financial means, give. Each donation provided to PMMA will be used within the community to which it is given.

Upcoming events

Watch for more details to come for upcoming fundraising events.  While events may look a little different this year, the heart and spirit of these events remains the same – and are sure to be an exciting time in our PMMA communities.
