Celebration Senior Living is a faith-based residential community in Denison, Texas, offering assisted living and memory care services. With a Type B license in Grayson County, the community is operated by Celebration Ministries Inc., following a philosophy of faithful and dignified life. This 94-bed community has a single-story design that emphasizes effortless movement and accessibility for all residents.
This community maintains a clear regulatory history, with the latest evaluation cycle in July 2024 that concluded with one finding, which was a Life Safety Code deficiency concerning property safety and emergency readiness. There were no Health Code deficiencies reported, which is significantly lower than the Texas state average of six findings per review. No enforcement actions are reported, and a violation regarding emergency generator standards from 2019 was resolved within 24 hours. Generally, the compliance history shows a community that addresses necessary improvements as soon as possible.
24-hour staffing is provided, along with a range of support from traditional assisted living to specialized memory care. An on-site chaplain works with local congregations and directs Bible studies, chapel gatherings, and musical events, which is a prominent feature for families who value spiritual life. Dining is prepared daily by an Executive Chef, with additional food choices available at various times. Surveillance cameras and continuous oversight are utilized to maintain a secure atmosphere.
With its intimate, single-level layout, Celebration Senior Living is ideal for older adults who appreciate a faith-based daily routine alongside organized support.
Celebration Senior Living is legally operated by Celebration Ministries Inc.
In Texas, the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) is the primary regulatory body that conducts unannounced inspections and publishes quality reports for all long-term care homes.
