What they do

GCS BRINGS INTERFAITH SPIRITUAL CARE to RESIDENTS, PATIENTS, STAFF, and FAMILIES to SKILLED NURSING FACILITIES IN GREENWICH, CT. OUR MAIN IMPACT is AT NATHANIEL WITHERELL WHERE OUR CHAPLAINS ARE FULLY INTEGRATED WITH REHAB PATIENTS and LONG-TERM RESIDENTS and WHERE OUR OFFICE HAS BEEN LOCATED SINCE 1968. THIS CARE is PRIMARILY IN THE FORM of ONE-TO-ONE VISITS. IN ADDITION, OUR CHAPLAINS LEAD WORSHIP and SMALL GROUP SERVICES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. WE WORK WITH PEOPLE WHO HAVE LOST MANY of THE EXTERNAL THINGS THAT GIVE THEIR LIVES SHAPE and PURPOSE, AS THEY SEEK MEANING, RELATIONSHIPS, and EVEN JOY IN THIS DIFFICULT ENVIRONMENT.OUR CHAPLAINS VISITS INCLUDE OFFERING ONE-TO-ONE COUNSELING, FRIENDLY CONVERSATION, and EXPLORING SERIOUS ISSUES WITH RESIDENTS, THEIR FAMILIES, and STAFF MEMBERS. THEY CONDUCT VARIOUS GROUP SERVICES DURING THE WEEK. BOARD MEMBERS VISIT OTHER FACILITIES IN TOWN and OFFICER GROUP SERVICES for THE RESIDENTS. WE CAN ONLY TRULY MEASURE OUR SUCCESS BY THE JOYFUL RESPONSE
