A walk, a listening presence, or sitting/reflecting on a garden bench can all provide spiritual care.

The Spiritual Care Companion Volunteer receives special training to accompany an elder on their spiritual journey who may be experiencing loss, grief, spiritual or physical distress, changing living circumstances, joys or blessings.

Can you or someone you know benefit from a conversation with a Mercy Care Spiritual Care Companion?

Be a Friend...Become a Friendship Volunteer

A Mercy Care Volunteer may accompany an elder to the grocery store, allowing them to cook at home.

A Mercy Care Volunteer may join an Elder on walks in their neighborhood, helping them to remain physically active and have a fuller life.

A Mercy Care Volunteer may provide transportation to medical appointments, run errands, attend community events and Mercy Care social engagement events.

All these activities, together, empower elders to live more fully, and age in place more successfully in the Tri-Lakes area.
