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.

McKendree Village's pastoral care staff includes Chaplain Rev. Dr. Carmen Lile-Henley, and Rev. Jim Robinson, Director of Pastoral Care. With the Nashville CPE Partnership, we occasionally have short term interns from local seminaries.
