Faith and Spiritual Growth in Long Term Care Settings

Many long term care and skilled nursing facilities employ a chaplain. The chaplain is a minister or priest and is available as “religious” support for older adults in assisted living. Chaplains are sometimes overlooked as key players in nursing home care and as support for family members.

Despite this, some are held back by the fear of being “cut off” from the rest of the world. They don’t want to feel distanced from friends and family, or lose access to the comforts and services that a larger city provides.
