PRCN

Have you heard the news? We have a new name!

Presbyterian Retirement Communities Northwest (PRCN) is now Transforming Age.

For 60 years, we have been leading the charge in helping older adults live life without limits — from our early days pioneering some of the first senior living communities in the state of Washington to investing in new technologies that create opportunities for older adults to lead more independent and purposeful lives.

Our new name better reflects our continued evolution as a not-for-profit organization and our strong commitment to fuel a movement that truly challenges the perception of age and encourages everyone to do more to combat ageism.

Look for more exciting news from us in the coming weeks and months and join us on our mission to create a better future for older adults.
