Religious Services

Religion and Spirituality can be such significant aspects of a person’s identity, which is why it is important to consider personal beliefs when choosing a living environment. Here at Struan Lodge, we respect residents’ beliefs and strive to celebrate them. 

Understanding a residents’ religion, faith and spirituality enables us to deliver exceptional person-centred care, and provide a living environment that is catered to their needs. From seasonal celebrations, to weekly viewings of Songs of Praise, there are a host of ways in which we can help residents practice their belief as regularly as they wish.

What is Spiritual & Religious Care?

Anything that moves a person, inspires, rejuvenates, brings hope, creates connections, is spiritual. People have a wide range of beliefs, some are Religious, others are Spiritual but not Religious (SBNR being the academic term) and we aim to encompass and celebrate everyone’s beliefs here at Struan Lodge Care Home. As people age, faith, spirituality and religion can become important parts of life and have been known to improve physical and emotional health, as well as enhance the overall quality of life.

Spirituality & Religion Among Older Adults

Spiritual connection, faith and belonging to a religious community can provide a feeling of purpose for many elders. These things can also aid in the prevention of loneliness, isolation, and depression. While faith, spirituality and religion can provide many benefits, they can also have harmful consequences. Finding a balance, as with most things, is important to us at Struan Lodge. From inviting Choirs to the home to sing for residents, through to watching Songs of Praise each Sunday, there are many easy ways to implement Spirituality and Religious care around the home.
