About
“Welcome Home” is more than a greeting: it’s a cozy feeling that immediately surrounds you at Clarehouse. Families settle into the peaceful atmosphere and focus on what matters most while our staff and volunteers provide round-the-clock comfort care.
A Home Built on Compassion
When a loved one needs more help than is available at home, we provide 24/7 care like a family member would, with each person’s hospice agency providing medical case management.
We pioneered this innovative, non-medical model of care and have served our community for twenty-one years as home and family to over 6,200 souls.
Vision
Clarehouse envisions a loving community where all people have the care they need at life’s end and no one walks their final days alone.
Mission
We embrace death and dying as a normal part of life and provide, at no cost to guests and families, the support people need to make the most of every moment.
We believe...
- that people who are dying deserve the very best we have to offer.

- in fostering connections so that people who are dying are surrounded with loving comfort while family and friends are supported as they say goodbye.
- that dignity, peace and kindness always matter.
- in providing state-of-the-art education that fosters community and empowers people to live more intentionally.
