Christian City
Senior's Services Overview
For more than 30 years, Christian City has focused on meeting the needs of individuals and families in a variety of ways. For senior adults this comes in the form of services and housing. The housing provided to senior adults from Christian City ranges from our independent Life Lease community to our long term care and rehabilitation skilled nursing facility. Services include many activities to keep our residents socially and spiritually engaged while providing appropriate health care.
Independent Living and Atlanta HUD Housing
Housing opportunities range from modest subsidized apartments up to our communities of duplex and triplex patio homes that offer residents spacious and well-appointed living accommodations. Our small cluster communities provide a neighborhood feel, allowing access to the amenities, programs and services provided for the life enrichment of all. Residents are provided opportunities to be active in a variety of settings through volunteering, participating in programs and activities as well as taking advantage of our health and wellness programs.

Our respite program is also available seven days per week. Residents in this program receive their meals, personal care, a furnished one-room suite, and participate in all activity programs during their short stay.
Respite Care
Our respite program provides temporary relief for caregivers and families who are caring for seniors with an acute or chronic illness. This program also provides short term care to help families take a vacation, attend a business meeting or just take a break from their daily routine and stress. In addition, the resident will receive assistance with personal care and ADL’s and will benefit from all of the amenities and services offered while receiving social stimulation from interacting with other residents.
Do You Qualify for Assisted Living?
So often families wait to consider assisted living until there is a crisis in the home. We have a functional assessment tool available that, when it is completed by the family or our staff, can objectively determine on a point basis whether or not your loved one is ready for assisted living. This tool is used by several communities across the country to assess the resident’s level of care prior to moving into an assisted living facility.
