Overview of Canton Christian Home

Canton Christian Home is a continuing care retirement community in Canton, Ohio, offering assisted living, nursing home care, skilled nursing, and respite care. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while the resident lives in an apartment. Skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock for residents who need clinical support.

The combination of care levels may be a good fit for a resident whose needs may grow over time, allowing a move between levels without leaving the community or starting over socially. Canton Christian Home opened in 1976 and has 84 beds. Studio and one bedroom housing options provide either a single living space or a layout with a separate bedroom.

Respite care offers a short stay while a usual caregiver travels or recovers, and short term rehabilitation supports temporary recovery needs. Rehabilitation services give residents access to therapy through the community. Salon services allow for grooming without arranging an outside visit, while scratch made meals are served in a setting where residents, family, and friends can eat together. Pets are allowed, so a resident may be able to bring a pet when moving in.

Total nurse staffing is 4 hours 4 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily hands on nursing time allocated to each resident. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted; Medicare applies to short term skilled care after a hospital stay, while Medicaid and private pay provide additional payment routes for covered care. Joann Kontur serves as the administrator. A Walk Score of 53 places the area in the somewhat walkable band, meaning some errands can be completed on foot and a resident who no longer drives may still manage occasional outings independently.
