Spiritual Care
Our Faith Integration into Our resident’s Lives
As a faith-based organization, Baruch Senior Ministries integrates residents’ physical care with emotional and spiritual care: recognizing both as an essential aspect of a resident’s life. For this reason, the Spiritual Care Team offers compassionate, personalized spiritual care in accordance with each resident’s spiritual beliefs and practices.
