Homes for the Dying (Comfort Care Homes)

The Greater Rochester Area and surrounding counties is fortunate to have twelve Homes for the Dying (Comfort Care Homes) that help people on hospice. Syracuse and surrounding counties is privileged to be served by Francis House, two homes that are each able to care for eight and seven residents respectively.

The Homes for the Dying (Comfort Care Homes) all work on the same model—caring for two people at a time with the help of volunteers and nurses, providing care at no cost to patient or family. A Hospice nursing agency supports the care with nursing, social work, chaplain, and aide visits. Each Home for the Dying acts independently, choosing from the list of referred patients based on their own assessment of who has the greatest need of their help. When a home is interested in offering a bed to someone, the nurse manager of the house will come out to interview the person, bringing pictures of the house to help the person understand what the house might be like. Declining the offer of a bed does not mean that in the future a bed might not be available—-usually when the next bed becomes available; the person would be given another chance to go there.
