Westminster Presbyterian Center, Inc. was established for the purpose of operating a non-profit, church-sponsored, Christian retirement and health care center for Westminster Presbyterian Church of Rock Hill, South Carolina and the larger community. What began as a vision in the early 1970s became reality in June 1989 as the Towers opened its doors for its first residents; those who may have retired from work but not from life.
In 1997, Westminster Towers became the first retirement campus in South Carolina to be accredited by the national Continuing Care Accreditation Commission, and remains one of the approximately 14 percent nationally that are accredited today.
In July, 2001, construction of a replacement for the skilled nursing/rehabilitation center was completed to include 22 additional beds. This project received national design awards and remains a beautiful addition to our campus of services.
Today, our community offers 131 Independent Living apartment homes, 29 Assisted Living suites, 22 Medicare Certified Short Term Rehabilitation rooms and 44 Long Term Care rooms.
Our Campus Home Health Program was implemented to assist residents with support of clinical services while remaining in independent apartments at the Towers.
