Information about Christian retirement homes

For many, Christian faith can be a strong consideration when choosing a retirement home. Moving is a very big decision. Finding a retirement home where faith is encouraged or nurtured in a community of fellow believers can be comforting. You know you will find people who share your faith, both among the staff and community members.

Of course, there are different denominations of Christianity, and people all have different perspectives, backgrounds and biases. Some communities above may be less explicitly Christian, while still supporting Christian activities, like small worship groups, Bible study, and denominational chapel services where members can worship together.

Christian retirement homes often have an explicit denominational origin like Catholic, Presbyterian, Baptist or any other. Today, many will be non-denominational. If these distinctions matter to you, investigate further by looking at the manager’s message on the Comfort Life profile linked above or review their mission statement.
