Nursing Home Ministry
Pathways in Compassion
Approximately half of all people living in nursing homes have been essentially abandoned. They have no visitors and no one to advocate for them.
Pathways in Compassion is a nursing home visitation ministry that matches volunteers with individuals living in nursing facilities who do not have regular visitors. For more information or to get a copy of our informational booklet, click here.
