Pine Tree Villa was established by the late Dr. Francisco and Dr. Erlinda Marasigan, two family practice physicians who were praised for their work with the elderly. During their 40+ years of service, the doctors provided medical care to generations of families and saw them though their stages of life. When they observed their elderly patients needing help to find placements in senior assistance living or other facilities, Francisco and Erlinda decided to open their own carehomes. Together with their daughter, Lynn Marasigan, they opened Pine Tree Villa in 2005. Lynn learned from her parents that those under your care should never be treated merely as clients – with rushed consultations or a one-size-fits-all approach to care. Rather, her parents instilled in Lynn the idea that taking care of residents requires time, patience, and tenderness. Lynn has a background in business, education, and art, and grew up providing administrative support in her parents’ medical practices. She serves as Pine Tree Villa’s administrator, where she leads her team of caregivers and brings charisma, warmth, and joy into everything she does. Lynn considers it an honor and privilege that so many families have entrusted her to care for their loved ones.

- Kindness and compassion: We understand that it could be a difficult decision to move a loved one into a carehome, especially if they are used to their privacy, space, and independence.

- Kindness and compassion: We understand that it could be a difficult decision to move a loved one into a carehome, especially if they are used to their privacy, space, and independence. We treat our residents with patience and kindness as we help them to settle into a new atmosphere, and we respect their independence while offering the support they need. Our facility is staffed with caregivers who are ready and able to engage residents in activities (e.g., crafts, singing, exercise) or sit with residents and simply listen.
- Family-centered: Pine Tree Villa was established as a family endeavor. As such, we treat our seniors and our staff like they are part of the family, and we are committed to providing our residents with a safe place that feels like home. We are in regular communication with our residents’ families to keep them updated on their loved ones, and we frequently host events so that our residents’ families can get to know each other. Our caregivers – most of whom have been with Pine Tree Villa for over17 years – have formed special bonds with our residents, based on trust and compassion. They are the heroes that keep our Pine Tree Villa family happy and cared for.
- Individualized care: We understand that every resident is unique – with different interests, hobbies, health conditions, physical limitations, and different needs that require different levels of care. As a small carehome, we are able to work closely with residents and their families to design personalized care plans that honor our residents’ uniqueness, independence, and dignity. We offer the support our residents need, when they need it. When we welcome a new resident into our family, we ask about their goals and needs, as well as their favorite hobbies, pastimes, and songs so that we can incorporate those elements into their daily activities.

We get to know our residents – their likes and dislikes, what makes them feel safe and secure, their routines and habits – and we tailor our care to each of them. We believe that seniors who are looking for a quiet and more private living arrangement will appreciate Pine Tree Villa’s setting over that of a larger facility.
