The St. Andrews / McCready Manor 

Board of Directors

St. Andrews owes its existence to the personal and financial sacrifices of many people over many years. A bequest to the First Presbyterian Church of Richmond, Kentucky provided the vision for what eventually became St. Andrews Retirement Community. The will of Stephen McCready specified the bequest be used “to found or enlarge or endow a nursing and retirement community,” in loving memory of his wife Isabelle Bennett McCready. First Baptist Church, First Methodist Church, and First Christian Church, all of Richmond, KY, joined First Presbyterian Church under the guidance of Dr. William R. Young, Jr., pastor of the church, in the venture. A Board of Directors comprised of three members each from our four sponsoring churches governs the St. Andrews Community.
