CHAPLAINCY

Spiritual and emotional health is a fundamental aspect of the quality of life promoted at Louis Brier. The spiritual well-being of every resident is valued by all our employees, and programs and religious services address the needs of all residents regardless of their faith tradition. In addition to daily and Shabbat Jewish prayer services, Interfaith services are held biweekly for all residents.

Our chaplain provides for your spiritual needs and those of your family as you face what can be a challenging stage of life. Chaplaincy can take many different forms, from individual counselling and guidance, to schmoozing over a cup of coffee, to simply seeing to it that you are able to access the appropriate services here at Louis Brier. He is an integral part of our interdisciplinary care team, providing a visible presence that recognizes and advocates for the universal human need for acceptance, hope, love, and faith.

Spiritual support is available to everyone at Louis Brier, irrespective of religious affiliation. Spiritual support may also be accompanied by different modalities including music, recreation, social work and other visiting professionals.
