“I am happy to be part of the Christian Health Care Center, which has been around for decades. The staff never wavers from the mission to give people a comfortable and safe place to live. They provide excellent 24-hour care — prioritizing high-quality care and resident satisfaction. The administration recognizes the service and achievements of employees. In my experience, CHCC is a place where every employee can feel accepted, valued and have a sense of belonging. CHCC employs people who share common goals; employees collaborate easily to provide the best care for residents.”

“The absolute most caring, honest intentional adoption agency ever!! Highly recommend and would give 100 stars if I could. Over the span of each our adoptions, we’ve worked with 4 agencies, this by far has been our favorite!! Being fromArizona, my only complaint is that we didn’t find them sooner.First and foremost, they care about the children in need of families, secondly, they love-on and support their families. which is exactly how it should be; their priorities ought to be in that exact order; kids first, families second. .—- They’ve never asked for a review, so this is 100% my honest opinion—- .You won’t find a more ethical agency, HONEST and honorable agency with the best intentions and priorities. An agency whose goal is 100% the children in need of permanency. .At the same time, if you’re a family looking for the perfect agency, they are absolutely amazing! They’re completely honest especially with the potential challenges of balancing the expectation of the families who are wanting to provide a safe and loving home for children, along with all the global concerns that may cause your family to pause with a particular country program.Trust me, I’ve signed up with an agency before because they’ve offered “promising timelines”. You won’t get that here. They’re absolutely 100% honest…and that may sting at times, but who could ask for anything else?We had entered into the china program during an incredibly challenging time, yet this agency has remained grounded and beyond understanding! Even if we never get our girl home, which is absolutely heartbreaking and outside of anyone’s control, I must say this agency has been beyond supportive and they alone have restored my absolute faith in international adoption during a pandemic.It’s funny, in the adoption world, we parents cringe when people say things like "oh, your kid is so lucky to be in your home”. We always correct such people "we as their parents are indeed the lucky ones."all that to say, if you end up with CHI, I am beyond confident, you are the blessed one!.Lastly, I’ve worked with Tricia and Stefani during our process, but I imagine they’re all just as wonderful!!!”

“My "Guard", Sherry Wamba, illegally seized everything in my house. I was given shoes, a beautiful, reversible aqua/purple winter jacket, nice black pants, a lovely scarf and 2 sweaters. The staff was such a a relief, after my first time visit to the Blaine Food Bank, and RUDE Sally. Anthony was a darling, but I would never go there again. In Ferndale I was offered , and directed to, a jacket and underclothes for a weathered sailor in need. My Paratransit was suspended, by the acts of sherry Wamba. After a hearing, I wish to be allowed to access Paratransit again. All of my winter gloves, hats and nightgowns are gone. I thank the people of Ferndale for contributing the food and clothing to those of us, who are in dire circumstances, due to a corrupt guardian system. I continue to battle on, no matter of a damaged house, and vehicles, a neglected yard, dead trees, no kitchen, plywood floors ! Jesus has never abandoned me.”
