Personalized Spiritual Care
SPRITUAL CARE
Integrated Spiritual Care Services
At Reverence Health, spiritual care is an essential part of what we do. In partnership with SpirituWell, we provide compassionate, professional spiritual care through secure telehealth services for clients and their families, meeting them wherever they are with presence, wisdom, and respect.
Our spiritual care services are designed to support individuals as they navigate the deeper questions and challenges that often arise with aging, illness, memory loss, and caregiving. Research consistently demonstrates that unmet spiritual distress can negatively impact emotional health, coping, and overall quality of life, particularly among older adults. By addressing spiritual needs alongside physical and emotional care, we help foster peace, meaning, and resilience during vulnerable seasons of life.
Our Assessment Approach: The GERO-6 Model
Spiritual care at Reverence Health is guided by the GERO-6 Spiritual Assessment, an evidence-informed framework developed specifically for older adults. The GERO-6 identifies six core domains where spiritual distress commonly emerges in later life and chronic illness:
Identity
Questions of purpose, meaning, and self-understanding as roles and abilities change
Legacy
Reflections on one’s life, regrets, accomplishments, and desire for one’s life to matter
Connection
Needs related to relationships, belonging, reconciliation, and intimacy
Autonomy
Concerns about dignity, control, and being heard in decision-making
Death & Dying
Fears, hopes, and questions related to mortality and end-of-life peace
Religious & Spiritual Needs
Relationship with God, the Sacred, or Transcendent, as well as faith practices and beliefs
