- Spiritual Life
Dorothy Love is home to more than 17 different faiths and denominations. As expressed in our mission statement, we are dedicated to enhancing our residents' spiritual growth by providing opportunities for them to practice their beliefs and attend worship services, either on or off campus. Dorothy Love provides a full time chaplain to attend to our residents’ and families’ spiritual needs. The Stephen Ministry is a program on campus that provides opportunities for residents to minister to fellow residents. Special training, guidance and support are given to those who become a part of this unique ministry.

Dorothy Love reaches out to the community-at-large with special programming, including our Variety Series, Alzheimer's Support Group, Annual Health Fair, Speaker's Bureau and Adult Education programs.
- Volunteer Opportunities
Our Volunteer/Auxiliary Program consists of men and women from our own campus, the city of Sidney and surrounding areas, who provide many services that add to the quality of life of our residents.
