Life That Feels Easy and Familiar
Mornings often begin with coffee in the courtyard or a quiet walk through familiar hallways. Some residents enjoy time at the pool. Others prefer conversation in the dining room or a favorite chair with a good book. In the evenings, chapel services or small gatherings bring neighbors together in simple, meaningful ways. Residents choose how they spend their time. Some join activities regularly. Others keep to a quieter routine.
Guided by Faith. Open to All.
Faith is a meaningful part of life at Mathison. Though Methodist in heritage, we are welcoming to people of all faith traditions, and offer weekly services, Bible studies and opportunities for reflection.
More importantly, faith shapes how care is delivered. Residents often speak of gratitude. Gratitude for the support they receive. For the friendships they build. For the peace of mind their families feel.
A Trusted Presence in Panama City
Opened in 2000 and named in honor of Dr. Si Mathison, the Mathison Retirement Community continues a legacy of service excellence in Panama City and the surrounding area.
