Continuing Healthcare at Beckett House

Continuing Healthcare at Beckett House is a skilled nursing community located on Friendship Drive in New Concord, Ohio — a welcoming Muskingum County village best known as the home of Muskingum University and the birthplace of American hero and astronaut John Glenn. Operated by Certus Healthcare, a respected long-term care management organization, Beckett House delivers compassionate skilled nursing care with a team that values each resident's story and strives to create a supportive, dignified living experience. New Concord's small-town charm, tree-lined streets, and vibrant university atmosphere give it a uniquely lively yet peaceful character that families and residents appreciate. The presence of Muskingum University adds cultural programming, community events, and an intergenerational energy uncommon in smaller Ohio communities. The John Glenn Astronomy Park, located in the Muskingum Watershed's Dillon State Park area, honors the legacy of New Concord's most famous son and reflects the community's pride in its heritage. For healthcare coordination, Genesis Hospital in Zanesville — the Muskingum County seat located just 10 miles west on US-40 — is the region's primary acute care hospital, providing emergency services, surgical care, and a full range of medical specialties. Zanesville itself offers extensive amenities that families enjoy: the iconic Y-Bridge (one of only a few true Y-shaped bridges in the world), the Zanesville Museum of Art, Stone's Restaurant, and a broad selection of shopping along Maple Avenue and the Eastpointe area. Salt Fork State Park, Ohio's largest state park, lies just north of Guernsey County and is a stunning outdoor retreat for nature-loving families. New Concord's location along US-40 — the historic National Road — also gives it excellent east-west connectivity, making it accessible for families traveling from Columbus, Cambridge, or Wheeling. Certus Healthcare brings a philosophy of person-centered care to Beckett House, ensuring that every resident benefits from individualized attention, consistent staffing, and a care environment built on trust.
