About Us
A TRADITION OF TRUST AND COMPASSION
OUR HISTORY
Rooted in West Michigan. Growing Together.
For over 50 years, Porter Hills Village has been a trusted mainstay in West Michigan, with a tradition of offering older adults the freedom, dignity, and connection they deserve. Founded to provide innovative, inclusive senior living in a welcoming setting, we quickly became one of the region’s most trusted communities. Over the years, we’ve thoughtfully expanded with new residences, amenities, and services while staying true to our values of care, respect, and genuine connection.
That same spirit of service is at the heart of Brio Living Services, the not-for-profit organization we’re proud to be part of today. Formed through the affiliation of Porter Hills and United Methodist Retirement Communities, Brio Living Services brings over 120 years of experience serving older adults. This partnership strengthens our ability to deliver high-quality, innovative care across Michigan while preserving the local character that our residents cherish.
Together, we share a vision of building a world in which all are empowered to age well. Where neighbors know each other, team members offer support with warmth and respect, and older adults can shape each day on their own terms. We’re proud of our history, grateful for the trust so many families have placed in us, and excited to continue building a place you’ll be proud to call home.

SENIOR LIVING EXCELLENCE
The Not-For-Profit Difference
At Porter Hills Village, being a not-for-profit is our promise to put people first. As part of Brio Living Services, a mission-driven organization, we focus on what truly matters: the well-being, dignity, and independence of the people who call our community home.
Because we’re not accountable to shareholders or driven by profit, everything we do, every decision we make, is based on improving the lives of residents, their families, and the community we serve. That means reinvesting in our people, programs, and campus to ensure the highest quality of life today — and for years to come.
It’s a commitment you can see and feel every day—in the dedication of our team, the warmth of our community, and the trust so many families have placed in us over the years. At Porter Hills Village, being not-for-profit means serving with heart, now and always.
A FAITH-BASED PROMISE
At Porter Hills Village, our Christian values inspire a deep commitment to inclusivity, compassion, and respect for all, regardless of faith or any aspect of human diversity. We embrace people of all backgrounds and beliefs, fostering a community built on understanding, kindness, generosity, and shared principles of service. Guided by our longstanding relationship with the United Methodist and Presbyterian churches, we strive to create an environment where every resident feels seen, supported, and truly at home.
