The Joseph House

The Joseph House Dying is the last journey we will embark upon and it’s a journey no one should walk alone. The Joseph House is an end-of-life residential care home. burden.

It is not a hospice. It is not a nursing home. It is not a skilled nursing facility. It is certainly not a hospital. The Joseph House mission is simply to provide home-like loving, caring, and attentiveness to the dying. The burden of the dying upon families and financial guarantors is thereby relieved. In particular, these dying individuals have aknowledged their fulfilled lives, and have decided to end artificial means of life prolongation. Simply put, they have determined to live their natural life within our home, with dignity, consent, and simple human compassion. They have hopefully chosen to end the needless wasting of medical resources in a hopeless search for longer life. They have chosen quality over quantity. They have chosen to die in the Joseph House. With caring, dignity, love, and compassion. We rely on completely private funding for these individuals to achieve their simple goal of death with dignity. Their choice predicates a fixed “end of life” cost. Ironically, insurers do not recognize the cost savings. Because The Joseph House does not provide direct medical care as the resident‘s hospice will provide, the home is not reimbursed through standard Medicare, Medicaid, nor private insurance payment. The care costs are totally paid by the client and the family. Paradoxically, these holistic care costs are greatly lower yet not covered by insurance, and are privately burdensome. In many instances, the individual and family cannot bear the entire weight of that and so it is that we appeal to you: to aid these individuals and families in helping to find and fund a dignified end of life. To providing the means and mechanism to allow a natural death, without resort to costly medical heroism. There is great need at the Joseph House. We cannot provide this valuable human service without your help. The dying are a very large and lonely group. We ask that you divert your eyes to these very needy souls at the end of their lives. Perhaps the very survival of the medical care establishment rests in this hope. The hopefulness of death with dignity.
