| Summary: | It is often assumed that spiritual care cannot be provided for aging adults with cognitive impairment.

Within this article, we present a case study that demonstrates how the type of spiritual care offered can be tailored to address the spiritual needs of those who experience increased cognitive impairment over time. |
