The Multi-Faith Practice Guidelines for Caregivers resource was created as a practical guide for all team members in retirement and long-term care settings. The guide provides information on six major religions: Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and Sikhism. The guide provides the following information about each religion:

• A brief description of the religion and its major beliefs
• Holy Days, holidays, and ritual observances
• Caring practices during late life or illness
• Rituals and other practices that are important near the end of life
• Sacred texts, scriptures, and prayers that may provide comfort at times of distress or when someone is dying.
