Pastoral Services at the Sheboygan County Health Care Center

The Chaplain, Rev. Tom Fleischmann, and Pastoral Services staff are committed to supporting the faith that has sustained the lives of our residents. It is the goal of the program to help residents spiritually as they face physical and emotional challenges in life. The regular worship services are a vital part of the resident's life. The Chaplain and other local clergy hold them through out the month. Lutheran, Catholic and Protestant services are held, along with special services for Christmas, Good Friday, Easter and Thanksgiving. Other services are planned occasionally for Veterans and special events. Memorial services are one way to say how important the people who come to live at the Health Care Center are, and how, on many occasions, these residents become very close. All residents, family members and staff are invited to attend. Rocky Knoll has the services monthly. The service times are posted for the residents and invitations are sent to the families. There is a pastoral service room located at each facility for counseling and gathering the family together in a time of crisis. This private setting is for the family and their pastor to be together at a difficult time. Tracts, pamphlets and Bibles are there for family and friends to use. The Pastoral Services Volunteer staff is an essential part of providing spiritual care for the residents. They lead Bible Studies, visit and read to residents one on one, provide music for worship and escort the residents to and from the Chapel services. Consider being a part of this vital ministry yourself by being a volunteer. You can find out more by calling Chaplain Fleischmann or the Activity Director at Rocky Knoll.
