Our Father's House Christian Home sits in a quiet part of Culpeper, Virginia, and offers both a warm family atmosphere and attentive care to seniors who want a Christian environment with familiar comforts. The home is run by the Bender Family, who live right on campus and help make sure everything runs smoothly and personally; you'll find a small village of individual cottages for independent living, along with 24-hour assisted living options in a close-knit setting, which lets people feel at home but still cared for. There's always someone available, with trained staff providing help around the clock for daily needs like bathing, dressing, medication reminders, and moving about, along with healthcare for things like diabetes, non-ambulatory, and incontinence care, so folks don't have to worry about much when daily tasks get tricky.
The memory care and respite care services cover the needs of people living with memory loss, and there's hospice care for those who need extra support; home care services can also work for those who'd rather stay put and need a bit more help, which means quite a few needs can be met without anyone having to move more than they want. Each cottage or room comes fully furnished, so no fuss there, and every private space comes with a phone so families and friends can call in or check up easily as they please, and there's an emergency alert system throughout the property to give peace of mind in case anyone needs help quickly.
Meals get cooked homemade three times a day and can be changed up for allergies or medical conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes, which means people don't have to eat anything that isn't safe. Community dining is available with restaurant-style service and all-day options, and there's a dining room where folks can eat together or just relax, and special arrangements can be made with a traveling hairdresser or stylist coming in as needed if someone wants a haircut or wash, so folks who have trouble getting out don't have to worry about missing out on the little extras of life.
Amenities around campus try to cover a bit of everything-there's a library and book room for reading quietly, a barber and beauty parlor for getting tidied up, a jacuzzi, sauna, and health room for a bit of comfort, recreation rooms, and an arts room for painting or crafts, plus walking paths, bench seating, a gazebo, gardens, a picnic pavilion, a small pond with ducks, and landscaped areas that make it nice for sitting outside or watching the seasons change, especially when family comes by for a visit. Residents can join in with planned activities each day-movie nights, board games, group exercise, music, and events that help people stay active and social. Some programs might include music therapy, pet visits, outdoor relaxation, and community night gatherings, all to keep everyone engaged. The place makes space for faith, too, with on-site and off-site devotional activities, Christian community events, and support for spiritual needs whenever someone asks.
For new residents, there's help with move-in and getting settled, and weekly laundry or dry cleaning services take care of any hassle, while transportation can be arranged for medical appointments, shopping, or getting to religious services. The staff look after showers, dressing, bathroom needs, washing, and grooming, and community-sponsored events bring folks together, which helps people feel less alone, especially when activities are led by residents who want to organize something themselves.
Safety and health are a big part of how the home runs, following state inspections and licensing rules that include having the right caregiver-to-senior ratio at all times. The campus is medium-sized so it doesn't feel crowded but isn't too spread out, keeping things manageable. The faith-based environment means Christian values guide the care, activities, and everything from daily prayers to the way folks treat one another.
With independent cottages, nursing home care, memory support, respite stays, hospice, and a range of activity and wellness schedules that give options for how relaxed or busy life should be, Our Father's House Christian Home offers a steady, welcoming place for seniors who want both care and community in a peaceful setting.
