“One song changed everything.” 🎵

When Ruth moved into her Cassia community, she kept mostly to herself — until a chaplain visited with his guitar. That moment opened her heart, leading her to rediscover purpose, friendship and faith.

Today, Ruth shares God’s love through a birthday card ministry, welcoming new residents and serving with joy.

Watch her story and see how spiritual life helps residents find connection and meaning every day. 💛

💜 Chaplain Appreciation Month 💜
At Cassia, our chaplains do more than provide spiritual care—they build community, foster connection, and ensure that no one journeys alone.

In this moving video, Julie Ryan, our VP of Spiritual Life, shares the story of Don—a resident who came to us with no family but became part of something bigger: a loving, faith-filled community.

Through meaningful connection and Christ’s love, our chaplains help residents live fully, right up to their final days. Don’s story is one of many—and we’re so grateful for the chaplains who make these moments possible.

We’re kicking off our Chaplain Appreciation Month series by celebrating Pastor Jeanne Aamot, Chaplain at Praha Village in New Prague and The Rosemount Senior Living! 🙏

Pastor Jeanne’s path to ministry is anything but typical—from a career in meteorology and business to finding her true calling in chaplaincy. Her work centers on hope, compassion, and connection through worship, Bible study, and one-on-one visits. Whether leading services or sharing stories over lunch, she brings warmth and joy to every interaction.
