Why we exist

Research has evidenced that the spiritual dimension is of great importance as we age. It guides person-centred care by understanding the inner person and their values, and to take this as the starting point for caring practice.

Learn about Spiritual Care

The challenge for older people is to make sense of life at a stage when loss and change occur more frequently and perhaps more painfully.
