At Baptcare, we believe that your emotional wellbeing is just as important as your physical health. Every individual that turns to us for support also has access to pastoral care.
Pastoral care offers support through the relationships you form with our chaplains and by providing opportunities for worship and reminiscence. We want to care for you as a whole person, whatever limitations you are living with. We work as part of the team responsible for your care. We support you by getting to know you and what is important to you.
We also offer spiritual support and companionship to individuals searching for God’s guidance and emotional healing, particularly during times of distress, loss and grief.
