Our Home, Your Family
Our staff will care for your loved one 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You are welcome to assist with this care as much or as little as is comfortable.
Immediate family members and loved ones are welcome at Porta Caeli House at all times.
Each guest room is furnished with a comfortable twin size sleeper sofa so an adult family member can stay overnight if desired. A shower for family use is also available and is located near the north Great Room. All bedding, towels and toiletries are provided; simply ask one of our staff for any of these items.
Porta Caeli for care, Hospice for medical
Porta Caeli provides care just as a family would for a loved one. We are not a licensed medical facility, nursing home or hospice program.
For this reason, guests must be enrolled in a hospice program before being admitted to Porta Caeli House, and have a Do Not Resuscitate order (DNR) in place. The guest’s hospice program dictates the medical plan of care and other hospice services.
