Did You Know?
Spiritual care plays an important role at Waveny for our residents, patients and families throughout the Network for those who chose to celebrate. Last year, our residents participated in 8,600+ one-on-one visits with chaplains and attended one of the three Christian services and one Shabbat prayer service offered each week. In addition, our Spiritual Care Volunteers provided over 300 hours of visits and care including pet therapy, music and new weekly harp therapy, teen rosary and Eucharistic visits.
