Our chaplains here at Silver Lake are a vital part of our community. They are an integral part of our spiritual lives here. They do not function as pastors but act as spiritual advisers during times of adversity.

Our chaplains at Silver Lake provide care across all levels of care. They offer consolation in times of crisis and grief. Their role is primarily to be with us, listen to our concerns, and support us through the crisis or grieving process.

Chaplains are ordained or certified by the religious denomination associated with the retirement community.

None of the for-profit senior living centers around Silver Lake has chaplains. If you are spiritually inclined, I suggest considering chaplains as one of your criteria for selecting a living situation.
