 Peninsula
United Methodist Homes was founded in 1954 by Rev. George H. Pigueron,
Jr., a Methodist minister who recognized the need to provide a secure
residential retirement for the older adults in his congregation.
His vision blossomed and in the years that followed, PUMH emerged
as a pioneer in providing outstanding retirement living and senior
housing, setting the standard for an industry that has since grown
tremendously.
Methodist Country House in Greenville
was established as the first continuing care retirement community
in Delaware, built in 1960.
Methodist Manor House opened in 1966
in Seaford. An innovation for the area at the time, it is also
home to the first Alzheimer's wing in Southern Delaware and the
first fully integrated on-site wellness center to serve both residents
and the larger community.
Cokesbury Village in Hockessin welcomed
its first residents in 1978 to a striking yet serene contemporary
campus. The first Alzheimer's care unit in Delaware was opened
here in 1985.
Heron Point in Chestertown, Maryland
was built in 1991. It is managed by PUMH and owned by PUMH of
Maryland. Its location on the shores of the Chester River and
adjacent to historic Chestertown make it PUMH's first destination
retirement community.
