Mission
In the spirit of Jesus our Lord, Willow Brook Christian Communities
seeks to enable older adults to live to their fullest potential
by providing housing, facilities, and services, delivered with compassion

"Therefore, as we have opportunity,let us do good to
all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers."
--Galatians 6:10
History
In the late 1960's, a group of Church of Christ members gathered
together to start a not-for-profit ministry of serving the elderly. In March of 1972, the trustees purchased a small 25-bed
nursing home at 55 Lazelle Road called Twilight Haven. They renamed it Will-O-Lock Haven. In 1982, an
expansion brought the nursing home's capacity to 50 people, and the name of the facility was changed
to Willow Brook Christian Home. A new assisted living wing was added in 2005, for residents who just need a little help to live comfortably. The rooms are all private, with private baths, and several suites for one or two people to share are also available.
In 1990, Willow Brook Christian Village was formed on a 31-acre
parcel of land just south of the city of Delaware, Ohio. Willow Brook Christian Village is home to independent residents in 127 twin-single homes and apartments. In addition, the Centrum assisted living center, Cherith skilled nursing and rehabilitation center, Passages, our secure memory care center, are situated right on campus. An adult day
care program operated by Heritage Day Health Centers is
in the lower level of The Centrum and is available to our residents and the community0. This program allows caregivers
relief during the day while their loved one is provided care, meals,
and activities.
Willow Brook at Delaware Run, a brand new continuing care retirement community, is located on the western edge of Delaware on 48 acres off Route 36/West William Street. More than a hundred twin-single homes and apartments for independent living are supplemented with an on-campus healthcare center with assisted living and secure memory care. Additional apartments will soon be added.
We a re thankful for the many people who have helped us along the way, and they are all very dear to our hearts. We believe the finest tribute we can give them is to continue our mission, and to provide the finest, most professional and most loving of living options available to seniors in Central Ohio.
