"There are several reasons for
the change,” comments Dr. Timothy Phillippe, CEO of Christian Homes,
Inc., now Christian Horizons.
|
“First, we were regularly confused with construction companies and
organizations caring for children. We also wanted a name that
conveyed an expanding vision as we look to the future of faith-based
senior living. Finally, our new name encompasses our growth in home
care and hospice,” Dr. Phillippe explains.
Christian Horizons (CH) began as Christian Homes, Inc. in 1962,
inspired by one man’s dream of creating a place where his loved ones
could age with dignity in a Christian atmosphere. He and men from
nearby churches raised funds to purchase property in Lincoln where
they built and opened the first Christian Nursing Home with 48 beds
in 1965.
Today CH has become one of the largest faith-based, not-for-profit
senior living providers in the country. CH owns and operates 13
communities across four states providing a full spectrum of living
options. The CH family of ministries also includes Senior Care
Pharmacy, management services for other senior living communities,
CareLink nurse-guided home care - serving 25 counties in Illinois
and 3 in Missouri, and Safe Haven Hospice - serving 17 counties in
Illinois.[to top of second

![](http://archives.lincolndailynews.com/2016/Aug/26/images/ads/current/rohlfs_lda_051513.png) CH is supported by the Independent Christian
Churches and Churches of Christ and remains true to that heritage.
Over 200 churches provide hundreds of volunteers and thousands of
volunteer hours – adding personal touches resulting in extra joy and
happiness for residents and guests.
Though the name has changed, the commitment to our Christian faith
and values remains as strong as it was since we first began over 50
years ago.
