    Compassionate clean safe family-like care

    I placed my mom here and couldn't be happier. The compassionate, respectful staff (including dementia-certified Karen) treat residents like family, meeting medical and emotional needs so her quality of life improved. The facility is clean, safe and home-like, with roomy rooms, outdoor space, activities and outings, and it's close and cost-effective. Staff go above and beyond - I highly recommend it.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the reviews is strongly positive. Multiple reviewers emphasize compassionate, family-like care and a safe, homey environment. The staff repeatedly receive high praise for kindness, emotional support, and attentiveness — reviewers describe staff as making residents feel safe, loved, and part of a family. Several comments single out dementia-capable care (naming a dementia-certified staff member, Karen) and note that medical needs are reliably met, contributing to improved quality of life for residents.

    Care quality and staffing are the most consistently highlighted strengths. Reviewers use words like "compassionate," "caring," and "above and beyond," and many describe staff–resident relationships as familial. Emotional support and safety are prominent themes; families reported that their loved ones were not only medically cared for but also emotionally supported. There is also a pattern of families preferring Christian House after negative experiences elsewhere, suggesting the facility compares favorably to other local options.

    Facility features and accommodations are also praised. Specific physical attributes mentioned include large two-person rooms with attached baths, a dedicated visiting area and an informal TV lounge, and a sizable outdoor space with a canopy. Reviewers note the environment is accommodating for residents with mobility limitations. Cleanliness is generally described positively with multiple comments calling the facility "very clean" or "clean and tidy," though one reviewer explicitly mentioned that it was "not as clean as you'd expect elsewhere," indicating an occasional or perceived variability in housekeeping standards.

    Programming and lifestyle offerings contribute to resident satisfaction. Activities such as game time, entertainment, outings, and shopping trips are specifically named, and the food is described positively by at least one reviewer. The overall atmosphere is characterized as casual and uplifting, with reviewers reporting happy residents and positive day-to-day experiences.

    Value and recommendation patterns are clear: several reviewers consider the community cost-effective and conveniently close to home, and many explicitly state they would highly recommend Christian House. The combination of compassionate staff, appropriate clinical support (including dementia care), recreational programming, and a home-like atmosphere is repeatedly cited as the reason for strong recommendations.

    Notable patterns and caveats: negative feedback is scarce and mild. The single recurring concern is a comment about cleanliness not meeting the standards expected at some other facilities, so prospective families may wish to ask about current housekeeping protocols and inspect room cleanliness during a visit. Also, the presence of two-person rooms is repeatedly mentioned as a feature — while reviewers viewed these rooms positively (spacious, attached bath), families should confirm room-type availability and privacy options if a private room is preferred.

    In summary, the reviews paint Christian House Home Health and Assisted Living as a caring, safe, and home-like community with engaged staff, solid clinical and dementia-capable care, active programming, useful outdoor space, and generally good cleanliness. The overwhelmingly positive family testimonials and repeated recommendations indicate high satisfaction; only limited, specific follow-up (chiefly around housekeeping consistency and room preferences) appears warranted based on the current review set.

    About Christian House Home Health and Assisted Living

    Christian House Home Health and Assisted Living sits in the old Captain Taggart School at 82 Garfield Ave in East Palestine, Ohio, a three-story brick building from 1917 that they've renovated to mix historical charm with modern comfort, and you can really see they've tried to keep that homey feeling in their 49-bed setup, where people get daily help, health checks, and support with personal needs in a safe, caring place. Folks who live here can get all sorts of assistance, including home health services like skilled nursing, wound care, and both physical and occupational therapy, which is useful whether someone needs long-term help, short-term respite, or just some home health visits, plus they take Medicare, Medicaid, and over 50 insurance plans like Anthem and Aetna, so there's room for different situations. The whole place focuses on being warm and supportive, with faith-based values and connections to the community and local church, and you can see that especially when they do things like charity memorial donations or community activities through adult day care, which gets people involved and staying active. They've got 24-hour staff who help with medication, meals, daily tasks, and even supervision if someone has memory loss or dementia, since there's a wing just for those with Alzheimer's or similar needs. Personalized care plans mean everyone gets their own routine, from wellness and recreation programs to help with chronic conditions, all while aiming to keep folks independent as much as they can. You're not going to find a lot of fancy decor or flashy features-there aren't any online photo galleries or videos-but there's thoughtful care, plenty of safety features, and accommodations built for comfort. The same group, Christian House, also arranges funeral and memorial services through Gabauer Funeral Homes, so families have support if they need end-of-life planning, with visitation options, guestbooks for condolences, and help honoring loved ones in whatever way fits their wishes. The staff includes experienced professionals linked with places like Gabauer-Lutton in Chippewa, Gabauer in New Brighton, and Gabauer-Todd in Beaver, which means people from all over the area have found connections here. This is a place where people can live safely and comfortably with help when needed, but also still feel like it's their home, whether they're staying for good, for a short while, or just coming for home health visits or adult day care.
