About ACH

Serving with Compassion, Love & Grace

Since 1951, we have been providing Christ-Like compassionate care for the elderly through tangible acts of love in all areas and levels of care. We promote family living values and build on our residents' strengths and interests. We are governed by a board of directors from our supporting churches in the area, and we are open to all people regardless of race, color, or national origin. 

Our Mission

To provide a continuum of high quality services to the faithful members of our supporting churches and to the community.

Our Vision

Is rooted in the Reformed Biblical perspective that by providing Christ-like compassionate care through tangible acts of love, we minister to the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of those we serve.

Since 1951

We support and promote dignity by emphasizing assistance in a variety of interests, abilities and needs. We strongly believe in social model services and programming that includes all activities of life at whatever level is possible or desired. Our role is not to "do for" but to "assist with."

Due to limited space, we do work from a wait list. A one-time, non-refundable fee of $250 is required to place your name on our Independent and Assisted Living wait list. The list consists of both member and non-member categories. Upon admission, there is a one-time entrance fee of $750 for members and $1,500 for non-members. We give priority to our members and supporters.
