Our History
The Buehler Home story is a testament to the philanthropic spirit of Phoebe Buehler and the love she had for her husband, Christian, a Peoria business icon. Throughout their lives together, Christian and Phoebe were committed to “giving back” to the people who had been responsible for the Buehler’s success.
It was Phoebe’s ongoing interest in improving the lives of older adults that would spark the idea of creating a dedicated residence to serve them. In memoriam of her husband, her will called for the creation of what is now Buehler Home.
Since its founding in 1932, nearly 2,000 residents have called this extraordinary community “home”. As we have grown and expanded over the years, our leadership team and dedicated staff remain just as focused on honoring Phoebe Buehler’s vision and mission.
