Christian Health Care Center (CHCC) was founded in 1911 by a group of deacons from local Reformed and Christian Reformed Churches. Today, CHCC - a non-profit organization open to anyone regardless of race, sex, or religion - provides a continuum of high-quality, family-centered elder-care and mental-health services in a compassionate and loving environment consistent with the Christian principles on which the institution was founded. Elder-care services include Heritage Manor, a 252-bed nursing home; Southgate, a special-care, 40-bed, inpatient nursing facility offering behavioral-management treatment; The Longview, an 80-unit assisted-living facility; Christian Health Care Adult Day Services of Wayne and Wyckoff; Hillcrest Residence, a 39-bed residence for independent seniors; and Evergreen Court, a complex of 40 apartments for independent seniors. Mental-health services include Ramapo Ridge Psychiatric Hospital, a full-service, 58-bed inpatient hospital for adult and geriatric patients, and its outpatient mental-health service, Christian Health Care Counseling Center; Ramapo Ridge Partial Program, a voluntary, short-term outpatient service; and Pathways, a partial-hospitalization program to treat adults who experience both a developmental disability and a co-existing psychiatric disorder.

The Mission

The mission of CHCC is to provide a continuum of high-quality services consistent with the Christian principles on which the institution was founded. Care is provided to those in need of long-term care, mental-health care, and residential living in a compassionate and loving environment. The mission is rooted in the belief that we minister to the whole person, recognizing that a person's faith should be utilized, strengthened, and nourished. Accordingly, we respect and care for the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of those we serve.

To fulfill our mission, we pledge to:

• communicate to all concerned that addressing the needs of patients, residents, clients, and their families is our primary objective;
  
• provide a comprehensive range of health, behavioral, pastoral, and supportive services without regard to age, religion, race, sex, or national origin;
  
• recognize the importance of providing quality care that meets or exceeds the generally accepted standards of the community, in an efficient and cost-effective manner;
  
• uphold our charitable mission and strive to assure access to our services by all those in need, while maintaining financial integrity;
  
• provide a safe and well-maintained physical environment;
  
• offer health-promotion services and educational programs to the community;
  
• evaluate the needs of those we serve to determine if the existing array of services should be modified or expanded; and
  
• work cooperatively with appropriate service agencies, as well as churches and other religious organizations, to assure that community needs are met.
  
  

Our mission statement was created through a joint effort involving staff, volunteers, and the governing body.
