Edison Christian Health Center is a licensed, 136-bed nursing facility dedicated to providing quality Christian care to older adults. Since its founding in 1945, the center has been unwavering in its commitment to serve seniors with dignity, honor, and respect. The core mission of Edison Christian Health Center is to care for the whole person—body, mind, and soul—offering not only expert medical services but also nourishment for the spirit and opportunities for meaningful activities. Residents have access to a comprehensive range of care options, including long-term care, skilled nursing, short-term sub-acute rehabilitation, and dedicated dementia care, ensuring that a wide scope of needs and preferences are compassionately addressed.
The health center’s approach is firmly rooted in individualized interventions that recognize and respond to each resident’s physical, social, and spiritual needs. Residents benefit from 24-hour skilled nursing care provided by a team of Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, and Certified Nursing Assistants. The facility's care extends to specialized programs such as sub-acute rehabilitation, with therapies including physical, occupational, and speech therapy available seven days a week to support residents in their recovery after hospital stays or significant health challenges.
Memory care is a significant focus at Edison Christian Health Center. Ritzema Hall, a secure and specialized 23-bed unit, is devoted to supporting residents with memory loss. Here, innovative practices are employed to encourage abundant living and help each individual achieve their full potential. The environment in Ritzema Hall is designed to be both safe and nurturing, reflecting the overall ethos of Edison Christian Health Center’s specialized programs.
The grounds of Edison Christian Health Center are thoughtfully planned to create a welcoming, homelike setting. The facility is situated on a wooded campus with beautifully landscaped courtyards. A secure outdoor courtyard offers residents a variety of amenities, including a walking and wheeling path, a gazebo, a wheelchair-accessible swing, and raised flowerbeds, providing opportunities for relaxation and outdoor enjoyment in a secure environment.
As a non-profit organization, Edison Christian Health Center places residents and their well-being at the heart of its mission. The staff view their work as both a professional calling and a ministry, seeking to be the hands and feet of Jesus to the seniors in their care. This philosophy informs every facet of life at the center, from the medical and therapeutic services offered to the daily activities, meals, and spiritual care available to residents. The center strives to create a community where seniors feel valued and supported across all dimensions of their lives, making it an honored and trusted place for quality Christian senior care.
