They will tell you that they have a visiting doctor, and a hair technician which they do, however due to COVID it is hard to judge, and those individuals are not able to come in as regular as some other places. Our loved one has never had any complaints regarding the food. They are very accommodating, and the keep a chart of the residents birthdays and bake them a cake to celebrate. They are also well aware of those who do not want to eat, and they encourage them to eat and even bring them different meal options.

My mom was in Christian Fellowship House for the last six years of her life, having passed July 2020. She started out not needing as much care to get through the day. As time went on though that changed and CFH was always there to accommodate her and keep her comfortable, even when she was finally on Hospice care. Thank you [names removed] and all those kind people at CFH who cared for my mom through the years. I am grateful for all you did.

The place was beautiful, the staff were wonderful, and I thought it would be a the perfect fit for my mother. And it was until she fell and broke her hip. She could not go back because she couldn't walk, which is understandable. She was at Christian Fellowship for 12 days when she broke her hip. I paid $8000.00 upon her entry for the first months rent and the entrance fee of $4000.00 (Probably to pay the fee to a Place for Mom, although a place for mom did not recommend this facility at that time). I questioned Pam the Owner about what if things didn't work out, and she told me 'we work with the families.' My mother spent the next 1 days there. She fell on the 12th day and was taken to the hospital. She was in and out of surgeries, rehabs and hospitals for the next 2 months. While she was in the rehab facility I received a call from Pam asking me if I wanted her to save the room for my mom, I said yes and was told that money to hold her place would need to be paid. I sent Pam 2 more checks totaling $7000 to hold a spot for my mother when she comes back. I was told by Pam that she would be able to come back on a Hospice Order, which we got, but she had an IV for antiobiotics in her arm, and they would not take her back. At that time I questioned Pam if I would be able to get some of the money back, at least the $4000.00 upfront fee. She had only been there 12 days. The answer was NO. Since this hip break she was in and out of hospitals, has spent over $10000 in health care and hospital stays. And Christian Fellowship did not offer any assistance at all or take any responsibility for what happened. Truthfully I was very surprised. As a Christian, and having my mom cared for by what I thought were other Christians really made me feel good. But the fact that the $4000 was not refunded after being there for 12 days with no assistance to pay a portion and any of her medical bills through there insurance really made me sick, and think that this facility really isn't a Christian facility. There was no humbling or saying let me see if I can work anything out. It is not like other places either, but I know after talking to others that when there parents were taken out of a facility after been in less then 2 -3 weeks there money was refunded. I think it is a great disservice to those that are looking at this Christian Living Fellowship. I would not recommend this place for that reason. If my mother did not fall and had stayed there for a couple of months and left, I would have not asked for a portion of a refund. But that was not the case. The caring Christian fellowship didn't call to see how my mother was doing and I know they really didn't care. So in closing be careful when looking at this facility. I am so sorry I had taken her there in the first place and will never recommend it.
