“Our roots are in the United Church
of Christ denomination, which has a long
history of being a proponent of civil rights
and social justice. We were one of the first
to ordain women to the ministry and we
have long been on the frontlines of marriage
equality for same-gendered relationships,”
he says. Every United Church Homes com-
munity is brimming with the hallmarks of
home — care, comfort, convenience and
choice. Each community features appealing
amenities, great food, engaging activities and
a genuine spirit of community.
“Our communities can meet a range of life-
style and health needs,” Daniel says. “These
are campuses that have inspired journeys of
the spirit for residents and team members
alike for nearly a century.”
Also included in each retirement com-
munity are chaplaincy programs, which pair
the communities’ religious life with spiri-
tual and pastoral care for residents and their
families. Last year United Church Homes
initiated a program on one of their campuses
called Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE).
“This is a national program that trains
people for professional work as institutional
chaplains in health care settings,” Daniel says.
