GCS works to provide and co-ordinate Catholic Masses, Protestant Worship Services, and Jewish Shabbat Services, as well as other holiday and memorial services at the various homes.

Scheduling Clergy requires both time and ongoing work to promote our efforts to encourage clergy's ongoing volunteer participation in leadership. We coordinate Bible studies, as well as purchase worship materials and scriptures for the facilities. GCS pays for the help provided by Chaplain Interns (CPE sutdents) to add to ur staff in providing spritual care to the residents.

Our Chaplain, Lay Chaplain, and Chaplain Interns offer comfort care, listening ears, a caring presense, as well as prayer, Scripture, even annointing when asked or appropriate to a given meeting. Each of our staff is sensitive to honoring wherever a resident, staff or family member is "coming from" - whether they are with a faith tradition or no faith.

As our Chaplain Heather put it, "Our role at GCS is to address the issues of later life, and to assist the residents and their families in their continued engagement with life. There are many losses and changes in this stage of life when seniors have to give up some of their independence and adjust to a new environment. The aim of GCS is to be with residents in their journey, and help them meet the challenges with grace".
