What are your priorities when planning for your future care?

In this episode of Your Future Self, we introduce you to our Spiritual Pillar of Care,

On the Whole Care Network, we understand spirituality can have different meanings for everyone. And we respect and embrace all spirituality.

Our spiritual pillar is focused on the entire person, rather a holistic point of view of all the aspects of you that are revealed in your role as a caregiver.

Our Spiritual Pillar will demonstrate the healing power of storytelling and how sharing one's story can bring you inner peace and comfort.
