Here’s the Isaiah House Story….

At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done. We will be judged by “I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was naked and you clothed me. I was homeless, and you took me in.” ― Mother Teresa

Since 1987, they have operated a two bedroom home in the City of Rochester. The energy and passion of their founder, director, and volunteers provide much needed comfort to their residents and their families. The Rochester medical community of nurses, social workers, and physicians call on them often to serve those with the fewest options and greatest need.

There is no cost to stay at Isaiah House and no expectation. They meet those in need of care and walk side by side with them through each moment, hour, and day, making today the best day it can be. Families are invited to share in their loved ones care or leave the caring to their compassionate volunteers. This enables the family or loved-ones to focus on the loving and comforting moments without the stress or worry of what needs to be done.

Serving Those Who Are Most in Need

Referrals may come from the social workers, community health nurses, families, physicians, as well as dying individuals. Preference is given to those whose economic or psychosocial resources are lacking or who are unable to remain in their own homes.

They believe comfort can be maintained as death approaches in this home setting of warmth and personalized care. Their approach is holistic. Physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs are addressed, affirming life without hastening or postponing death. The resident, family, and friends all receive loving attention and are encouraged to participate in determining what would most enhance the resident’s quality of life. Bereavement support is available for at least one year after death.
