Faith in Older People identifies specific areas in which there is a need to develop a stronger understanding of spiritual care and to consider the practical application.

People with no religious faith, however, have spiritual needs. Spiritual well-being is relevant and important. Attention to spiritual needs leads to a better quality of life. Meeting them is not an add-on ‘icing on the cake’ but an integral part of the whole person care. Spiritual care involves giving time and concentrated attention to an individual, listening carefully to what they say, ensuring their well-being and attending to their religious needs if they have a faith.
