Life is full of decisions – but those commanding a loving, compassionate touch are the hardest of all. Entrusting your loved one(s) to strangers is easier if you have 'confidence in your choice.' For over 62 years, Christian Care Centers has been caring for seniors with the compassionate care and dignity they deserve. We currently serve more seniors in the Metroplex than any other faith-based, not-for-profit senior care provider. We believe in Wellness of the Whole Person, and every facet of our Continuum of Care reflects that mission.

Research has shown that healthy aging includes keeping the mind active and stimulated. It is an honor and privilege for Christian Care Centers to join Richland College in their Emeritus Program, because we believe these programs assist greatly in maintaining mental agility in our seniors.

We welcome you to join us at Christian Care Centers’ Greenway Village Retirement Living Dining Room for the following exciting lectures. The topics are varied and we hope that at least one (and hopefully more) will strike your fancy.

Presentations will be on Mondays, 2:30-4:00 p.m.
RSVP to 972-698-2600 weekdays between 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

Mon Sep 20 Great Composers, Fascinating Lives! Do you picture the great western composers sitting at their pianos writing music day and night, starving for their art? Don’t kid yourselves! Some composers led lives of barely concealed scandal that could have kept the National Enquirer in readers for years. Many composers had lives that were quite respectable on the surface, but hidden from the public were mistresses, lovers, illegitimate children, diseases people didn’t talk about, depression, alcohol and drug abuse, court intrigues, rivalries, all the human weaknesses and foibles we expect from more mortal folks. We will look at some of these composers and see them both as real human beings and as musical geniuses. Presenter: Gayle Ross, adventuress, world traveler

Mon Oct 18 What is the 9th Largest City in the USA Doing Here in the Middle of This Empty Prairie? Other world cities have harbors or major rivers. Dallas doesn’t, yet in the U.S., we anchor the 4th largest metropolitan area. We will review the history of this rather young city and discover why, as we see how the effect of new technologies will propel this "metroplex" into one of the major centers of the world in the future. Presenter: Dr. Arnold Paddock, Richland College Physics instructor.
