Teresa House is a two-bed comfort care home dedicated to providing compassionate end-of-life care to individuals in the final stages of a terminal illness. We offer physical, emotional, and spiritual support to both our residents and their families as they navigate the journey toward the end of life.
Our volunteers play a vital role in delivering compassionate care across a wide array of duties. These responsibilities may include providing physical and emotional support to residents and their families, reading or watching TV with residents, preparing light meals, administering medications, and answering phones. Some volunteers also assist with fundraising or clerical work, each bringing unique gifts and talents.
It takes a team of 70 dedicated volunteers each week to ensure that the house runs smoothly. We ideally request a commitment of four hours per week from each volunteer, though any time you can offer will be gratefully accepted. We have a special need for volunteers during evenings, weekends, and holidays.
New volunteers will undergo orientation and be paired with experienced team members until they are fully acclimated. There will always have access to a nurse on-call for guidance and support. The opportunity to care for individuals during this profound time in their lives is truly a blessing.
Thank you for considering joining our team of caregivers at Teresa House!
