Growing Older is a resource for frail and well older people, family caregivers and professionals.
Under the direction of founder Rabbi Dayle Friedman, Growing Older offers inspiration, comfort and learning to people of all faith backgrounds.
Spiritual Accompaniment
pastoral care for frailty and dementia
If you or your dear one is facing frailty or dementia, you may be wondering where to turn, and how you can cope with the changes ahead. Spiritual accompaniment offers you a safe and caring context to share your worries, questions, and doubts, and to connect with your sources of strength and sustenance.
Spiritual Direction
on the journey beyond midlife
Perhaps you are approaching or in retirement and pondering new pathways toward purpose. Or you may have experienced a change in home, relationship, or health status. Wherever you are on your journey, spiritual direction offers you a place to search for meaning, and to deepen spiritually as this chapter unfolds.
Help With Decisions
regarding medical choices and end-of-life
When you or your loved ones experience life-limiting illness, you encounter tough decisions about treatments and care. It can be very confusing. Having worked with thousands of individuals and families, we can help you to understand your alternatives, and choose a course based on your own values and goals.
