Edison Christian Health Center

Edison Christian Health Center is a non-profit senior community with a clear Christian mission, focused on care for the body, mind, and soul, and they've got all the basics covered, so residents can get the services needed as they age, whether it's independent living, assisted living, or skilled nursing care for long stays, dementia, or just getting stronger between hospital and home, since that's the kind of thing they do every day. The facility has 136 beds, is Medicare and Medicaid certified, and runs round-the-clock with skilled nursing staff so there's always someone ready to help, which can be a comfort for people who need a higher level of care. Edison Christian Health Center has short-term rehab for folks needing to recover, with therapy services like physical, occupational, and speech therapy, offered every day, plus a Restorative and Maintenance Program that's meant to keep people moving and steady after the rehab ends. For residents with memory loss, there's a 23-bed secure unit called Ritzema Hall, with a safe outdoor courtyard, raised flowerbeds, a wheelchair-accessible swing, and a path for walking or wheeling, so people can get out and breathe a little fresh air. They have on-site dental and eye care, lab services, X-rays, a barbershop, and a beauty salon. Meals are planned by chefs and meal planners, and they have nutritional counseling, with the idea that food should taste good and be good for you, and laundry and housekeeping are included. The rooms are on the smaller side and may feel a bit like a hospital, but each has air conditioning and a television for comfort, and the staff has a reputation for being compassionate, helpful, joyful, and kind. Edison Christian Health Center offers spiritual and recreational activities, aiming to support residents' social and spiritual needs alongside physical care, especially for those with Alzheimer's or other dementias, using approaches meant to be meaningful even when memories fade. Assisted living and independent living options are available within the Christian community, and staff provide help as needed, always with a focus on Christian compassion. The center's patient experience ratings cover everything from nurse and doctor communications to room cleanliness and quiet, and it's been ranked at the top percent for extended care and recognized by the Women's Choice Award for high quality and patient satisfaction, which is based on objective criteria. People can book appointments by phone. There are infection and accident ratings available for different kinds of health events common in hospitals and nursing facilities, though those are not always perfect anywhere, but they do keep up with standards and regulations to protect the residents.
