A wheelchair-compliant minivan transports residents to scheduled dialysis, operations, and medical appointments. In addition, we have 9 passenger wheelchair-accessible van that takes residents grocery shopping every Friday and every other Tuesday. Transportation is also offered to field trips in Santa Barbara, including museums, nature walks, and special events.

Fresh Live Harvested Produce from Our Urban Farm

We provide balanced lunches every weekday at no cost to our residents, featuring fresh vegetables harvested directly from our Urban Farm. Each meal includes the daily entrée, a self-serve soup, a salad bar, and freshly made fruit juice. Our salad bar and entrees include living produce everyday from the aeroponic towers and microgreens to maximize the nutrition in each meal.The overall mood at Pilgrim Terrace has drastically improved since the lunch program began.

Additionally, the Food Bank’s Brown Bag Program visits Pilgrim Terrace twice a month, offering our low-income seniors free bags of groceries. On Mondays, we host Harvest Day, where residents can share in the weekly bounty from Pilgrim Terrace’s Aeroponic and Organic Urban Farm.

Activities, Exercise, Dance, Yoga and Potlucks

In addition to the nutritional benefit, residents benefit from the short walk to the dining hall and the social interaction with other residents and guests. Exercise classes are provided onsite by the non-profit to increase circulation and energy, as well as strengthen bones and muscles, all of which help prevent falls. Residents can also join pottery classes provided by Maker’s House three times a week, along with participating in special holiday parties, music events, movies, games, and art sessions to spark creativity and promote a positive outlook.
