We are a Home, not a facility.
We are a home, not a facility. Yet it’s a home where there is ample support. The social environment is one of caring, and offers emotional support for the families. The volunteers of the Toni and Trish House provide personal, selfless, compassionate care to each guest in a home-like environment.
A physical environment that is bright, clean, and not “institutional” is also very important. The home has space for six guests, a spacious kitchen, a common living room, a chapel, and a laundry.
End of Life Care
As the end of life approaches, each family’s story is different. A person can linger, gradually fading away or death can be sudden. End-of-life care describes the support and medical care given during the time surrounding one’s death. Such care does not happen in the moments before death. Care can be needed for days, weeks, and sometimes even months.
Grief Support Groups
Support groups are a method of help for people struggling with all sorts of difficulties. Many individuals wonder if they will benefit from a support group, but groups are not magic, there are no words that can be spoken within a group that can make grief disappear. For many a support group can be a break from the loneliness and the boredom that often comes with grief.
Children's Grief Center
Children experience fewer deaths due to modern medicine that has helped in reducing child mortality and prolong the life expectancy for the elderly. More and more people die in nursing homes and hospitals that are outside the home environment. The exclusion of death from children’s lives requires us to teach them about death and grief.
Care of Your Loved Ones
Our caregivers show love, care, and comfort to those who stay with us throughout the dying process.
Providing our guests and their families with home cooked meals, companionship, and a special place to spend quality time with their loved ones.

Our Partners
Hello Friends!
Today is a great day to support local causes and organizations that are important to you! The Toni and Trish House is participating in the Give Local Bay initiative and we welcome your partnership. Since 2008, The Toni and Trish House for the Care of the Terminally Ill has cared for approximately 1500 guests and families, providing care, comfort and compassion during their and their loved one’s final days. As you may know, the operations of the House are funded exclusively through donations; there is no government funding, insurance payments or private pay arrangements. All guests that stay in the House do so free of charge. Furthermore, we would be unable to provide this level of care without the help of many dedicated and selfless volunteers.

The Toni and Trish House Announces Enhancements to Improve
Guest and Family Support
Auburn, MI, March 25, 2025 — The Toni and Trish House is pleased to announce several upcoming enhancements aimed at improving the care and support provided to its guests. The central focus of these improvements will be the replacement of one of the original guest suites. Currently located adjacent to the kitchen and laundry areas, the suite is situated in spaces that are essential to the House’s daily operations. However, these areas are also filled with the sounds of laughter and life, which can disrupt the peaceful environment that is essential. To address this, the House will be expanding to relocate this guest suite to a quieter, more serene setting. This project will also include the creation of a new gathering space for families, caregivers, and community partners. The space will provide a comfortable area for larger families to gather, share meals, and connect, fostering a sense of community for both the guests and their loved ones.
This important initiative is supported in part by a generous $60,000 grant from the Midland Area Community Foundation (MACF). The grant is part of MACF's "Caring for Our People" focus area, which aligns with the mission of the Toni and Trish House to provide compassionate and dignified end-of-life care. The Midland Area Community Foundation exists to cultivate the power of giving within our community, support long-term transformation, and help ensure all residents thrive.
The mission of The Toni and Trish House is to provide compassionate, end-of-life care in a peaceful, home-like setting. The organization is dedicated to not only serving its guests but also offering support to their families and loved ones. Operating entirely on the generosity of the community, the House does not charge for its services. Volunteers play a crucial role in supporting the Toni and Trish House staff to ensure that each guest receives the care and attention they need.
