Chaplain Services at Clermont Park
Clermont Park was founded in 1972 by a group of committed people from local Denver churches. Their vision for The University Hills Christian Nursing Home (our original name) was to create a caring community for older adults that would reflect deep Christian values of love, respect and compassion. Today, our parent organization – Christian Living Communities – still uses the word “Christian” in our name because this founding vision remains at the heart of our organization.
Those who had the original vision for Clermont Park were from the Christian Reformed Church (CRC) and the Reformed Church in America (RCA). While we are not, and never have been, a church-run organization, we still have an affiliation with our founding faith communities.
Who Lives at Clermont Park
It has always been the mission of Clermont Park to share our faith-based values with anyone in need of our services. Therefore, we have never required that those who live in our communities belong to a church, or that they believe in a certain way.
Residents come from a variety of backgrounds, and there is a great diversity of faith and practice here. There will be no pressure to change your own religious/spiritual beliefs, but we will provide opportunities for residents to enhance their own spiritual journeys.
Our services include a professional Chaplain team. Part of their training is to help meet each person’s unique spiritual/religious needs. They can assist each person, no matter their faith background, to connect to local clergy or faith community if desired.
