Spiritual Care

Care at Lower Lights is truly holistic. Faith and Spirituality play a large role in a person’s physical and mental well-being. Our spiritual care services are designed to engage the full spectrum of spiritual health and are inclusive to the diverse spectrum of beliefs. Our Spiritual Care team is here to serve you with dignity and join you in your unique story.

Spiritual Care services can include:

• Prayer
• Safe listening presence to express grief, anger, joys, doubts, seeking, and sharing testimony
• Assistance with rituals such as Liturgy of confession and forgiveness, memorials for child loss, anointing for healing
• Devotional and spiritual materials
• Connections to communities of faith
• A one-time meeting or a series of appointments
• Non-judgemental dialogue for discernment

Spiritual Care is provided on the same basis as our medical care. It is provided without discrimination, regardless of race, color, sex, national origin, disability, religion, age, sexual orientation, gender expression, lifestyle, beliefs or ability to pay.
