Ken Stern of the Stanford Center of Longevity was told over and over again to visit 2Life to see what safe, attractive, supportive, and socially engaged housing for low-income seniors can look like when it’s done right. He and colleague Alice Winkler visited for two days last spring — and here’s what they learned.

At 2Life, we reenvisioned the role of a chaplain to meet the needs of older adults in our communities. Here’s how. In a typical chaplaincy role, the vast majority of the chaplain’s time is in one-on-one conversations with the people they serve. But at 2Life, these one-on-one conversations are just one part of the job. The second, more unconventional component is programming that builds meaningful community connection. Chaplains organize and facilitate programs that bring people together, such as workshops, events, discussion groups, and holiday celebrations. These types of spiritual care programs matter because older adults face a dual crisis of social isolation and loneliness. Spiritual care programs connect residents with each other — not only the chaplains on staff — for meaningful conversations that foster community.
