Presbyterian Senior Living and Westminster Communities of Florida have mutually decided not to move forward with the two organizations' proposed affiliation. James Bernardo, Acting CEO of Presbyterian Senior Living, articulated the decision in a letter writing, "After much consideration and a deeper assessment of what a joint organization would look like, we determined the best way to serve our residents, our families, our staff and our community is to remain an independent organization. The merger exploration was a deeply satisfying experience. We enjoyed working collaboratively with Westminster Communities of Florida. The organization will remain our much-respected industry colleague – and friend. We truly wish them well." Read full announcement... Plans to affiliate were first announced on by Steve Proctor, Past President & CEO of Presbyterian Senior Living and Roger Stevens, CEO of Westminster on April 29, at the 2019 PAHSA Spring Conference in Pittsburgh, PA.
