Meet Chaplain Joy! Chaplain Joy Martin joined the Eskaton Spiritual Care Program in the spring of 2017, and was initially assigned to three Eskaton communities: Eskaton Lodge Cameron Park, Eskaton Lodge Gold River, and Eskaton Village Placerville, where she also happens to live as a homeowner. After serving as an ordained clergy and board-certified hospital chaplain for fifteen years in Olympia, Washington, Joy retired in 2016, so the opportunity to transition into retiremen...t and still practice part-time as a chaplain in her own new community was perfect. She says that visiting Eskaton residents gave her greater insight, and great pride, working and living within the Eskaton system, as she deeply appreciates the uplifting, encompassing integrative care they offer to each and every person during the later stages of living.
