Our Mission
Teresa House offers a comfort care ministry to residents who are nearing the end of a terminal illness, and to their families, by providing a home environment of love, dignity and support. An extended family of volunteers and staff cares for the spiritual, physical and emotional needs of the resident and their family during the last precious days of life, and extends into the bereavement process.
Admissions
Admission to Teresa House is based on need with preference given to residents who cannot be cared for safely at home. The resident’s personal physician will have determined that they are in the last stages of life due to a terminal illness.
Referrals are welcomed from area hospitals, physicians, social workers, family members, and Livingston County Hospice.
Donate
Caring for our terminally ill neighbors is both a profound privilege and responsibility. We proudly provide our care at no cost to residents and their families, relying entirely on the generosity of our community. Your support is crucial to our mission, ensuring that financial concerns never interfere with receiving compassionate end-of-life care.
Volunteers
We need your help! Volunteers are needed to work 4 hour shifts (training is provided). Please fill out an application and drop it off or email to office@teresahouse.org
We become an extended family bringing physical, emotional and spiritual care to our residents and their families as they journey toward the end of this life. All volunteer care givers are asked to perform a wide spectrum of duties which include: physical and emotional care of the residents and their families; reading or watching TV with the residents; preparing small meals; giving medications; and answering phones.
