- Abstract
This article presents an exploration of the changing experiences of six chaplains employed by a large care provider (LCP) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Semistructured interviews carried out over a ten-month period with six chaplains during the pandemic highlighted three key themes relating to their experiences in care homes during the crisis: (i) adapting work practices; (ii) mental health and well-being; (iii) giving and receiving support. In the context of a worldwide pandemic, this study highlights the issues experienced by chaplains in residential and aged care homes at the epicentre of COVID-19-related deaths in the United Kingdom.
