Over the past 55 years, St. Paul's Senior Services , a full-service, nonprofit retirement community has provided homes and care to generations of San Diego's seniors. With the changing needs of today's older adults, their services have expanded to bring innovative choices to those seeking resources for active retirement living, personal care, memory support and medical oversight.
 
St. Paul's provides affordable, innovative and comprehensive programs in a non-denominational environment with great value placed on optimal independence at all stages of life.

For this tour, we will focus on St. Paul's Manor, a premier San Diego independent living community. The community is comprised of two buildings (the Manor and Tower) and the pricing starts at about $1400 per month (single occupancy).
