Life at the independent living area of the Inland Christian Home community is full of choices. Some residents enjoy preparing their own meals, running errands and spending afternoons playing cards with friends. Others appreciate the convenience of restaurant-style dining, medication assistance and transportation services. Many residents love a mix of both – independence when they want it, support when they need it. That’s the beauty of living here: you decide what your day looks like, and help is always available. Here is a showcase of our residents’ and families’ stories about this balance in their lives.
Independent Living: The Best of Both Worlds
For those who choose independent living, life at Inland Christian Home is about ease, connection and having everything you need right at your fingertips.
“I play cards on Tuesdays and Fridays with friends, go out to dinner with friends from the community, and I’m close to great restaurants,” shares one resident. “Plus, parking is convenient, and the staff here is always helpful.”
Social activities are a big part of the community. Residents meet every afternoon for conversation and games and love the fitness center. Some look forward to housekeeping visits, while others take advantage of the maintenance team’s quick response.
“I called security about my smoke alarm, and he fixed it immediately,” one resident says. Another recalls, “Maintenance replaced a broken showerhead within 30 minutes – on a Sunday evening!”
When something unexpected happens, the Inland Christian Home team is there. “When I fell, the staff responded right away, including calling 911 and notifying my family.”
The freedom of independent living means you can enjoy your privacy, stay socially engaged and have the support you need – on your terms.
Aging in Place with Confidence
For some, there comes a time when a little more help is needed. Inland Christian Home offers extra care services for independent living residents, including:
- Meals and Dining – Enjoy chef-prepared meals in the dining room or have them delivered.
- Medication Assistance – Staff can help manage medications to ensure you stay on track.
- Transportation Services – Perfect for doctor’s appointments, errands and outings.
- Beauty Shop – Get a haircut or a little pampering without leaving the community.
- Assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) – When small tasks become challenging, support is available.
For those who need even more care, Inland Christian Home provides assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing, allowing residents to stay in the community they love, no matter what life brings.
“I feel safe here and love the staff,” says an assisted living resident. A family member adds, “My dad is thriving at Inland Christian Home, and the people who care for him do so with kindness and love.”
One family member shared how the skilled nursing team’s gentle approach helped their mother feel at ease, even in difficult times: “I watched in amazement as a staff member completed care tasks with such a level of acceptance and comfort from my mother. Their approach was calming and supportive, giving her peace of mind.”
A Community That Feels Like Family
Every resident and family at Inland Christian Home have a story. Some residents have lived here for decades, while others are just settling in. No matter where they are in their journey, one thing is clear: this is a place to belong.
“We have met so many kind, gracious people here. The people are what make Inland Christian Home so special,” one resident shares.
