Pastoral Care, Chapel Services and Social Visitation
 

The goal of our pastoral care program is to provide for residents of all faiths.  Pastoral support can be arranged at the request of the resident.
Throughout each month, chapel services and fellowship gatherings are held within the facility for our residents. 
Chaplains visit regularly and provide support, especially during times of crisis, illness and dying. Residents and their family may request to see the visiting chaplain if desired.
Regular visits from volunteers who provide companionship and practical assistance can be of significant benefits to our residents, especially those who are housebound.  All volunteers who attend our care facilities to provide social visitations have police clearances.
