ple. Phillippe notes that other senior com-
munities in the Midwest have experienced
infrastructural decline or haven’t invested in
modernization. He says seniors are increas-
ingly looking for living options that provide
newer styles of attractive housing as well as
special programs and activities which speak
to their perspectives on life style. “They
don’t want to go to the old folk’s building,
but they want options. They want to live in a
safe and happy neighborhood. They want to
be comfortable, and they want to have good
food, a modern gym, they want fun things to
do and people to do it with... as long as we’re
providing what they want, we think they’ll
want to come here.”
And for those that do come to Christian
Homes, they’ll connect with a quality of
community lifestyle and a capability in the
imparting of skilled care which not only of-
fers physical advantages, but emotional and
spiritual elevation too. Phillippe asserts that
senior years can be made especially difficult
by the advancing of illness, increasing re-
alization of physical limitations or coping
with loss of family and friends. Prayer, faith
in God’s word and fellowship with compas-
sionate friends can effectively lighten the
burdens of time, yet make life’s more joyous
moments more special too. ChristianHomes
offer an environment that allows all to expe-
rience peace, comfort, compassion, care and
spiritual connectivity in degrees not only de-
sired, but divinely inspired.
