The JFS Chaplaincy Program provides spiritual connection and support for Jewish residents in Capital Region long-term and elder care facilities. The breadth of services includes:
- Providing pastoral care and counseling for residents.
- Visits with individuals who are otherwise unaffiliated, isolated and disconnected from Jewish life.
- Providing programming on Jewish topics for residents.
- Consultation/education with facility staff on Jewish traditions, holiday preparations and food guidelines/restrictions to help them become more culturally sensitive to Jewish residents and their needs.
- Collaboration with Jewish and non-Jewish professionals in the community.
