I have been working with Seniors since 1998 and am currently providing spiritual care at Port Hope Extendicare, a long-term care facility and Seniors’ home.
I also worked with Seniors for Sidewalks to advocate for better accessibility for Senior citizens in Port Hope. We recently had a victory with the Town Council and are excited to now have a beautiful sidewalk and pathway along Rose Glen Road. Residents of Extendicare now have somewhere to go beyond the parking lot of their building!
Here is an article I wrote for Presence, the journal of Spiritual Directors International (an organization of which I am a member) about what it is like to provide spiritual accompaniment for elderly people.
