Description
Résumé:It is acknowledged that religion and spirituality (R/S) are important to many older adults. The aim of this pilot study was to explore the feasibility of gathering details about R/S care provided for older adults living in a diverse sample of residential care centers. This included the types of services and descriptions of the staff and volunteers who provided them. While the convenience sample was small, results indicated that a more systematic study is feasible and is needed to determine the levels of R/S care and staffing and the degree of R/S need in older adults living in these centers.
