House of John

Call Directions Website

House of John is a two bed comfort care home for the terminally ill with a prognosis of three months or less. The house was rented to us by St.

We opened our doors 30 years ago and have continued to open our hearts, our hands, and our home to those in need. House of John was born in the hearts of two dedicated RNs and nurtured by a very supportive community. The idea was to care for the dying in our communities in a comfortable, home-like setting by trained volunteers and staff. This type of care is an alternative to dying at home or in an institutional setting. Felix Church for many years and was eventually purchased by House of John, Inc. Over the years, renovations were made to make the home more comfortable for the residents and their families. A lovely front porch was added and, most recently, a large addition was added to make the home even more accessible to both the community and families by adding to the work and living space. We feel that families can gather in comfort and enjoy the wonderful hospitality House of John has to offer. Our well-trained staff and 85 volunteers are dedicated to the care of the dying and their families. We feel privileged to share in this journey.

Thanks to a generous grant , we were able to install new windows and patio doors throughout the house. We are so grateful for the opportunity to update these for our residents to enjoy!

Our hearts are so full after an incredible turn out for the car parade that came through our parking lot for a resident. His kids all grew up helping him repair Corvettes and he was part of a Corvette Club, so this parade was a special way to help him feel more at home at House of John. We were honored to help such a wonderful family during their stay.

Once again, our volunteers were welcomed to the Frey home for their annual September barbecue. The camaraderie. laughter and fellowship was so much fun that I forgot to take pictures!

I am sharing the post from last year because the gardens were equally as beautiful, and Jerry's cooking the chicken over charcoal was top notch!
Thank you Nancy and Jerry!!!

Yesterday, the volunteers were welcomed to the Frey home for their annual barbecue for the volunteers. Nancy, a volunteer at House of John, offers her husband’s wonderful grilling skills to cook delicious chicken and we all bring a dish to pass. The weather couldn’t have been better, the food was absolutely scrumptious and the sharing amongst the volunteers was wonderful. Thank you Nancy!

Could you make someone a cup of coffee? ☕

Could you sit quietly while someone tells you a story? Could you answer a door, warm up a meal, straighten a room, or simply offer a smile? Then you already have many of the skills needed to volunteer at House of John.

You do not need a medical background. You don't need to know what to say when someone is dying. And you don't have to have all the answers. We will train you.

We're simply looking for caring people willing to give one or two 4-hour shifts each month. There's no required weekly schedule— you choose shifts that fit your life.

Come visit House of John and learn what volunteering really looks like. No pressure. No commitment. Just come and see.

You can be the comfort.💙 Visit www.houseofjohn.org/volunteer to learn more and apply, or tag a friend who you think would be a great fit!
