Life is full of decisions – but those commanding a loving, compassionate


touch are the hardest of all. Entrusting your loved one(s) to strangers is
easier if you have ‘confidence in your choice.’ For over 62 years, Chris-
tian Care Centers has been caring for seniors with the compassionate
care and dignity they deserve. We currently serve more seniors in the
Metroplex than any other faith-based, not-for-profit senior care provider.
We believe in Wellness of the Whole Person, and every facet of our Con-
tinuum of Care reflects that mission.

Research has shown that healthy aging includes keeping the mind active
and stimulated. It is an honor and privilege for Christian Care Centers
to join Richland College in their Emeritus Program, because we believe
these programs assist greatly in maintaining mental agility in our seniors.

Retirement Living Dining Room for the following exciting lectures. The

strike your fancy.
