Christian Retirement Communities Have Stated MissionsChristian retirement communities usually state that their mission is centered around the individual--to provide loving care and respect to everyone.
"The poor and the sick are the heart of God.
In servicing them, we serve Jesus, the Christ."
...St. Camillus de Lellis

Most Christian retirement communities provide assisted living and continuing care but a few are just independent with no care or maybe just meals and housekeeping. The care is standard or for an optional fee. Most are rental apartments or villas, some with refundable entrance fees, non-refundabe entrance fees or no entrance fee, and additional monthly rental fees. They are now "on the cutting edge" with wellness programs, senior nutrition and provide a variety of activities. Things are changing at these communities. There is a new awareness that seniors want more than to be in an "institutional" atmosphere--they want choices, independent activities and caring family atmospheres along with Christian fellowship, bible classes and pastoral support. Many are affordable and non-profit with excellent low and moderate income offerings. You can also find very upscale living as well. We have listed the ones that offer activities and independent with or without assisted and/or continuing care. As the aging population grows, it is wonderful to know that these Christian retirement communities are expanding and becoming more numerous, offering an important resource for our aging population. On the websites of many we list, there is a notation on how to donate to these worthwhile communities.
