The correlation between spirituality and aging is an important one. Today, 65% of American adults identify as Christians, but more than 90% of seniors consider themselves religious or spiritual individuals. Spiritual support and community can be incredibly important to many older Americans, regardless of when faith became a meaningful factor in their lives.
Whether they have pursued faith throughout their lives or found religion more recently, a lifetime of experiences have pointed them to their need for the love, purpose, truth, forgiveness, and grace found through faith. As a result, choosing a religiously affiliated retirement community can have significant positive impacts on seniors’ quality of life.
For example, in addition to other amenities and services, Christian retirement communities typically offer multiple forms of spiritual support. These can include on-campus chapels, Bible study groups, prayer groups, worship services, and chaplain support. Here are some of the ways that faith based senior living communities can help retirees lead more fulfilling lives:
