Scott's House would like to thank Los Alamos National Laboratory and Triad National Security, LLC for their generous grant in supporting our work.

With their help, we've been able to provide free end of life care to those who often can't access it due to financial struggles, housing insecurity, and living in rurally isolated communities. We believe everyone deserves dignity, comfort and companionship during their final days.

Thank you again - support like yours is how we do what we do for the community. ❤️

Free Support Groups for Family Caregivers through Family Caregiver Center of New Mexico

Please note: Scott’s House is not partnering to provide these support groups - we’re just grateful to see other community organizations supporting caregivers.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

We understand that caregiving for a loved one can be physically and emotionally demanding. That’s why we provide free respite care services and lend out hospice care supplies as we have them available.

For those looking for additional support, we’re excited to see that the Santa Fe Public Library is partnering with the Family Caregiver Center of New Mexico to provide a free in-person support group for family caregivers at the Southside Library every first and third Wednesday of the month (starting January 7th). The Family Caregiver Center of New Mexico also offers virtual support groups through Zoom - you can check dates and times on their website.

Registration is required, and they ask that you call 505-494-4021 to register or for more information. You may also visit https://www.familycaregivernm.org/support-groups for more information. ❤️

Ongoing Support Groups Support groups offer understanding, validation, and acceptance. Groups provide compassionate spaces for family caregivers to connect with one another. Participants exchange practical information on caregiving challenges and share possible solutions. Cost: Free of chargeRegistr...

Every day, Scott’s House provides a safe, compassionate home for those at the end of life—free of charge. Our residents come from across northern and central New Mexico, many with limited resources and no one else to care for them.

Thanks to the generosity of our community, we’re able to offer not just room and care, but dignity, peace, and support—for our residents and their loved ones.

Please consider supporting the work we do for the community with a donation today. We’re grateful for any amount. Thank you. ❤️ https://scottshouse.org/donate-to-scotts-house/
