Our Mission
 
In the tradition of Mother Teresa, Teresa House is a comfort care home for those who have a terminal illness, and who have been determined to be in the last three months of life.  
Teresa House provides an alternative home setting for the dying person and their family. Staff and trained volunteers become the resident's extended family, and serve their spiritual, emotional and physical needs.  
The home-like setting at the Teresa House is created by loving volunteers providing tender care for up to 2 residents and their families. Religious faith, race, and gender are not considerations for admission.
Teresa House was completely renovated in 2006. Click HERE to see a virtual tour of our beautiful new House!
Devoted to assuring dignity for the dying, Teresa House opened its doors on May 10, 1993 and became an independent not-for-profit organization in January, 1996. Since that time, we have cared for over 265 residents and their families.
