Welcome to Willow Brook Christian Home

Willow Brook Christian Home, at 55 Lazelle Road off US 23 on Worthington's Franklin County/Delaware County line, is the original Willow Brook Campus. Established in 1972 as a 25-bed nursing home, the newly expanded and updated version is beautifully appointed and spacious, with a state-of-the-art rehabilitation center that enables the recovering person to quickly regain strength and return home.

Both the rehabilitation wing, the skilled nursing center, and the assisted living wing upstairs offer all private rooms with their own baths, wifi throughout the building, top-notch dining, and a dynamic social activities program in a beautiful building with spaces for privacy and conversation both indoors and out. The assisted living center also has some suites with living rooms, bedrooms and kitchenettes.

Fascinating aviaries and ponds, fountains and gardens offer gentle diversions, but if you want a little push on your way to recovery, our therapists are happy to do it!

When you join Willow Brook, you enter a community of friends:

• We treasure life, but we’re not crazy about leaf raking, snow shoveling or home improvement.
• We enjoy a sense of belonging, but we like a little space between our houses.
• We value trees, ponds, streams, and deer grazing in the meadow.
• We love a variety of good food and lots of choices.
• We like moderate prices.
• We get a kick out of interested and interesting people.
• We know our good health won’t last forever and want to live where health care services are available should we ever need them.
• When someone we love enters assisted living or memory care, we like knowing nobody will nickel and dime us to death.
• We’re relieved to know that the goal at Willow Brook is to keep us as independent and healthy as possible and to support our desire to remain in our home as we recover from illnesses and as we age.

Willow Brook Christian Communities was founded in 1972 by members of the Churches of Christ in Central Ohio who wanted to expand their ministry to include older adults. They began in Worthington, with a little nursing home on Lazelle Road. Now, forty years later, Willow Brook has three communities, including two continuing care retirement communities that offer comprehensive housing and health services to older adults along the entire continuum of care.
