honored to celebrate
30 years of service
Laurel View Village was founded on a Christian commitment of service to others.
Our mission is motivated by Christ’s love; we strive to foster a community that provides opportunities to live with purpose, vibrancy, and independence.
Laurel View Village was founded on the principle of
Christian service to others. We try to maintain that
commitment in all that we do every day.
Laurel View Village was established in response
to the need for senior services in the Greater
Johnstown community. In 1981, a committee
formed by eight Mennonite Churches began
exploring ways to address these needs, concluding
that a retirement community with various services
was essential.
In 1983, Allegheny Christian Ministries, Inc.
(ACMI) was formed as a Pennsylvania non-profit
corporation. This organization expanded the vision
beyond individual denominations, creating a
community-based, interdenominational Christian
entity that built upon the historical cooperation
of churches in the Conemaugh Township area of Somerset County.
The community’s name was chosen to reflect the
breathtaking views of the Laurel Mountains.
In 1991, Lee Health Services, partnered with ACMI to
form a strong team of professionals and establish
a solid foundation for Laurel View Village. The
community officially began operations on November
24, 1992. Over 30 years later, the community is still
thriving and experiencing growth.
The Board of Directors remains committed to
providing quality and cost-effective services to
the senior population. There is a strong desire to
enhance the variety of services offered, and Laurel
View Village is dedicated to delivering quality care
with a touch of elegance, making it an attractive
option for many residents of southwestern Pennsylvania and beyond.
