Ministry to the Aged Chaplains are dedicated to providing compassionate pastoral care to residents of retirement, assisted living and skilled nursing facilities. Here is what care centers say about MTA Chaplains

"Chaplain John Payne offers another avenue to communicate with our residents. He always checks with social services to see if anyone has any special needs that day. Sometimes we find out resident issues through John…. He is happy to be of help to staff and residents alike… He's a wonderful man and we are blessed to have him serving our facility… John is a good listener and our residents ask for him."

"Chaplain Carol Brunlinger listens well and expresses genuine care…We so appreciate having Carol assist people with spiritual needs, which is difficult for other staff members to address at times and yet so easy for her. You can always feel her warmth and concern... Providing spiritual guidance and support for our residents is not an easy job. Truly, I have never seen it done more gracefully and with as much heart as I have with Chaplain Carol."

"Chaplain Tom Warner is doing a wonderful job for us. His spiritual music/singing is a highlight of the week for our patients... He has been a real asset to our patients… Residents and staff look forward to Tuesday mornings with Chaplain Tom. His happy sense of humor, smiles, kindness and his singing and guitar playing are a comfort and joy to our facility… Tom is friendly, flexible and approachable."

"Chaplain Otto Zuckschwerdt is very good at meeting the spiritual needs of our residents. He deals well with the elderly and confused. He is well-known by our residents and staff... His one-on-one visits to those who are bed-bound are appreciated… He often 'stops by' when not scheduled to see if there are any needs or concerns… Otto does an exceptional job and we are so happy to have him here."
