Guest Arrangements

Guests at Toni and Trish House for the Care of the Terminally Ill need to be patients of a local hospice agency. We believe it is best for people to die in the comfort of their own home but, for many reasons, some people cannot stay in their home. For individuals in those situations, the Toni and Trish House is here to provide family-like care. Read more…
