House of John

House of John 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 25 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.

Losing a loved one is one of the most difficult journeys we face, impacting us physically, emotionally, and spiritually. In a world of constant change, one thing remains the same: the quiet, steadfast care we offer to those who come to call the House of John home in their final days. Our staff and volunteers always strive to provide comfort and dignity to residents and their loved ones in a peaceful, supportive environment.

We are a small house with a big mission. It is a mission we can only fulfill because of your generous support each year. We ask you to consider a donation to our 2025 Annual Appeal to help us continue to provide comfort and care when it matters most. Visit www.houseofjohn.org/donate to partner with us. Thank you for helping us remain a constant presence in our community for those who need it most.

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!

We had such a special night celebrating all of our amazing volunteers with awards and dinner at Warfield’s!

This year, Linda Guest received a thirty year pin and certificate, Kate Zehr and Faith Heise received a 15 year pin and certificate, and Marge Lash a ten year pin and certificate. We are so thankful for the dedicated volunteers who have spent many years with us caring for those who call House of John Home.

Every year a Volunteer of the Year, who is nominated by fellow volunteers, receives the Bob and Carol Wood Award. This year, it went to Mary Donahue who passed here at the House of John on Feb 9, 2025. Mary started volunteering here in 1999 with her Mother Betty. Betty passed here at HOJ in 2016 and Mary continued to volunteer, serve on our Board of Directors, and was an on-call nurse. We were blessed to have Mary here for over 25 years as part of the House of John Family and there truly couldn't be a more deserving recipient of this award. Gavin Donahue graciously came to accept the award.
