Today, March 15, 2022, marks the 50th anniversary of Willow Brook Christian Communities. What began as a 25-bed nursing home in north Columbus beset with major financial and operational challenges has transformed, with love and dedicated leadership, into a destination for senior living options in central Ohio.

Willow Brook now has three campuses with a total staff of nearly 500 people. That single nursing home (what is now Willow Brook Christian Home) paved the way for all that we offer today: independent living, assisted living, transitional living, memory care, skilled nursing care, rehabilitation, respite, and adult day programming. 

From our humble beginnings to now, 50 years later, we have been blessed to be a faith-based, not-for-profit organization that puts mission above all else. Willow Brook is synonymous with quality, but if you have ever been to a Willow Brook community or have been part of the Willow Brook family, we think you will agree: love makes the difference! 1
