Pastoral Care
Caring. Convenience.
Community. - These words
describe our pastoral care services at
McKendree.
Caring.
At
McKendree Village we subscribe to the
philosophy of Quality Loving Care
(QLC). This concept has been
described as a full step beyond kindness
and a quantum leap beyond customer
service. This level of focus is
necessary to support wellness of body,
mind and spirit. Pastoral care
professionals deliver QLC in a variety
of settings.
In addition to individual visits,
counseling and prayer sessions, we
facilitate grief, care givers and other
support groups for persons in various
kinds of transitions. QLC means that our
ministry is available to residents and
family members in their time of deepest
need.
Convenience.
When new residents arrive at McKendree Village we actively encourage
them to remain involved in their home
church as long as that is practical. We
believe that is good for the resident,
good for the local church, and good for
McKendree! When the weather is inclement
or getting out is no longer possible, we
want them to know that their spiritual
needs will be met through services
provided at McKendree Village. For
residents who are looking for spiritual
services, we lead three community
worship services each week, offer Holy
Communion monthly, teach Sunday School,
lead a weekly prayer group, Bible Study
and have weekly devotions.
Community.
There are many aspects of community life
at McKendree Village. We live together,
eat together, and worship together. One
of our special community blessings is to
interact daily with the many retired
ministers, retired missionaries, and
other leaders that provide a wealth of
experience and knowledge from a variety
of faith traditions.
Caring. Convenience.
Community. Our mission to
provide quality retirement living and
health care services for senior adults
in a secure, Christian environment sets
us apart. Our pastoral care services
delivered by QLC professionals support
joy in sharing, reverence for
spirituality and life-long learning to
instill each day with purpose.
