About Us

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. Hands-on resident care is provided around the clock, along with meals, laundry, companionship, as well as emotional, social and spiritual support through volunteers, nurses and social workers. A comfort care environment ensures that pain management, and symptom control will accompany a natural death process, in an atmosphere filled with love.
