Turner Retirement Homes

Turner Retirement Homes sits in a small-town country setting and has been around since 1933, providing a place mostly for retired ministers, missionaries, pastors, and educators from Christian Churches and Churches of Christ who're looking for affordable, independent living and a sense of community, so folks who come here usually value comfort, freedom, and spiritual support alongside other people who share their beliefs. The homes are designed for seniors aged 55 and up, offering different sizes from roomy one-bedroom apartments to three-bedroom houses, where people can have a small pet if they want and take care of their own meals and yard, which some find gives them more independence and keeps them active, although garbage service is already included with the housing, while other utilities are up to the resident. Residents can take part in regularly scheduled activities, social events, and devotional programs if they wish, and they can join in on or attend on-site activities, which means there's a fair bit to do for folks who want to be engaged or don't want to feel alone. The staff provides security and support, meeting spiritual, physical, and essential needs, and healthcare services are available, including help with basic non-ambulatory and incontinence needs, so there's a safer environment for people as they age. Meals are provided for those who require them, and there's complimentary transportation and parking, plus indoor common areas where people can visit or relax. The community is guided by biblical principles, and its Statement of Faith includes beliefs about marriage, gender, and life's sacredness, so Turner Retirement Homes is mainly for Christians who want those values reflected in daily life. Founded and managed as a non-profit, Turner Retirement Homes sticks to its mission of giving Christian retirees affordable, secure, and caring senior housing, especially to those who served as missionaries or ministers, and does so with a Board of Trustees and Advisors to make sure the original purpose is kept. Tours are available for anyone interested, and while Turner Retirement Homes doesn't offer a long list of fancy perks, it does provide a supportive Christian environment where seniors can live independently with as much help as they need, feeling both safe and connected.
