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.

What We Provide

The Baruch Spiritual Care Team

A Team Solely Dedicated to the Care of Your Loved One’s Spiritual Life

Baruch’s Spiritual Care Team embodies the mission of Baruch Senior Ministries by caring for the spiritual needs of residents, families, and staff. Our staff dedicates their time to others through individual visits, leading worship, and displaying a sustained sense of love in our homes.

Baruch’s faith focus leads our team to integrate spiritual care into the everyday lives of our residents. We partner with churches and chaplains to provide regular prayer, worship, and community of faith.

At Baruch, there’s always someone to pray with your loved one. We work with chaplains to provide regular prayer and spiritual guidance.

Beyond Just Physical Care

We believe that physical care alone is only part of a full life. Each person yearns for a deeper spiritual connection, and we are honored to facilitate that connection in our residents. Our team is dedicated to ensuring that our residents have an opportunity to fellowship in faith, find a spiritual community, and receive prayer and guidance.
