facilities became employees of Christian Homes. Bridgeway of

"In Christian Homes, we have found an organization with a commitment
to caring for seniors," said Christine Tani, chairwoman of the
Lifelink board of directors.
"Like us, they are an Illinois faith-based organization. They are
very well-managed and have a strong track record for dedicating
capital dollars to facility improvements. Christian Homes is

relevant experience to the residents of these three facilities."
