Upon Entering Your New Home

When you arrive at the Apostolic Christian Home of Eureka, someone from Social Services will meet you and escort you to your new room. A nurse will complete a physical assessment and make sure that we have all needed medical information for you. You or your Power of Attorney will meet with the Social Service Director or Assistant and complete the admission paperwork.
