| Christian Care Centers, Inc. is a sixty year
old organization that provides care, housing and services for senior
adults in the North Texas area on three retirement campuses. Those
campuses/communities are Christian Care Center in Mesquite; Hilltop
Haven in Gunter; and Lakewood Village in Fort Worth. Each community
has several levels of care and living available. We serve approximately
1200 residents with a staff of 600. Christian Care Centers is the
largest not-for-profit provider of senior care, housing, and services
in the Metroplex.
Christian Care Centers is a 501(c)(3), tax exempt not-for-profit
organization. We provide services to the elderly regardless of race,
color, creed, religion, or national origin. Each of our communities
has it own on-site management. Christian men and women serve on
our Board of Trustees on a voluntary basis without monetary remuneration.
Christian Care Centers’ history began in 1947 with the opening
of Hilltop Haven in Gunter, Texas. At that time it was known as
“Home for the Aged” and its purpose was to provide housing
and care for retired ministers and their wives. Today, Hilltop Haven
has the distinction of being one of the first providers (1989) of
specialized care for seniors suffering from Alzheimer’s Disease and related disorders in North Texas. Hilltop Haven has 209 nursing
beds for private pay, Medicare, and Medicaid residents. Sixty of
those beds are dedicated to specialized Alzheimer’s care.
Hilltop Haven is also known for its dedicated, long tenured staff
of care professionals. There are also 16 Independent Living retirement
apartments on the campus.
Christian Care Center in Mesquite opened its doors in 1973 with
120 nursing beds. Over the last thirty-one years, the 26-acre campus
has expanded to five levels of care serving more than 500 residents.
Christian Care Center now has 180 nursing care beds in its Health
Care Center, 32 dedicated to sufferers of Alzheimer’s Disease.
The 61 apartments in Bentley Assisted Living Apartments provide
apartments, assistance, and services to residents who need some
assistance but not full nursing care. The Courtyard at Christian
Care Center, which opened in 2002, is a 44 apartment state-of-the-art
Assisted Living certified to care for residents with Alzheimer’s
Disease and related disorders. Independent Living residents have
several options for living on the Mesquite campus. The Hartin and
McMillian Apartments provided affordable, rental retirement living
with some included and some ala carte services. The beautiful Greenway
Village Retirement Community opened in the fall of 2001 and offers
spacious apartments, multiple amenities and services that enable
active retired seniors to really enjoy life.
Lakewood Village Retirement Community is located on 49 acres in
Fort Worth, Texas. This community opened in 1982 and has expanded
over the years to a multilevel campus providing three levels of
senior living and care. The 159 Lakewood Village Retirement Apartments
offer many sizes, styles, and locations. Not only is Lakewood Village
a very good value for the size and quality of lifestyle, but the
friendly residents embrace and welcome new residents. The 34 Cummings
Assisted Living Apartments provide apartment living with extra care
and services for seniors who need or want a “little extra
help.” The Lakewood Village Health Care Centers provides 24-hour
nursing care for the elderly who require this level of care and
accepts Medicare and private pay residents.
In 1993, because of a desire to expand our services into the communities
and counties we serve, Christian Care Home Health was established.
Serving Tarrant, Johnson, Dallas, Collin, Rockwall, and Kaufman
Counties; Christian Care Home Health provides skilled nursing, home health aides, and therapy services to the elderly in their own home
setting for Medicare reimbursed services. We also provide private
duty and sitter services.
Today, the leaders of Christian Care Centers are planning for the
next five, ten, and even twenty years as the number of seniors desiring
or needing housing, care, and services increase to twenty per cent
of the American population.
