Julie King, director of independent living at The Christian Village, puts the finishing touches on the Almost Home apartment available for individuals needing a temporary place to stay before going home from the hospital or nursing home.

Christian Village offers 'Almost Home' temporary apartment [February 17, 2014]  After a hospital or nursing home stay, some people are unable to return home because they can't handle housekeeping and meal preparation. To help these individuals while they're regaining their strength, The Christian Village has established an "Almost Home" apartment that can be rented by the week. Located in the senior apartment building at The Christian Village, the Almost Home apartment is fully furnished, with three meals a day available in the dining room.

Rental includes utilities, cable TV, Internet, a landline telephone and weekly housekeeping.

The Lifeline medical alert system also is available, as is Medicare Part B therapy ordered by a doctor.

"If you have reservations about going home from the nursing home or hospital, or you need a temporary place to stay while family is away, let us be your short-term haven," suggests Julie King, director of independent living.

"We have daily activities and a caring staff available to you," she added.
