Keuka Comfort Care Home

Keuka Comfort Care Home KCCH provides free, compassionate end of life care in a homelike setting.to terminally ill residents

Conceived of need and compassion, born and nurtured by six caring local couples, and built by a most generous community, the Keuka Comfort Care Home opened its arms in September of 2007 to area families in need of terminal care for a loved one. This state-of-the-art terminal care facility was drafted and adapted from borrowed plans, erected entirely by volunteers, and constructed at roughly one-th

ird of budget due to an unusually large number of in-kind donations from local contractors and suppliers. After nine months of extraordinary communal efforts, the Keuka Comfort Care Home was ready to accept its first residents on its bucolic hillside overlooking Keuka Lake. The need for a local comfort care facility was realized when a common friend of local residents decided it was unacceptable for Yates county-area residents to travel long distances to visit terminally ill loved ones. They came together to initiate a change, and 2 years later the Keuka Comfort Care Home is in operation. KCCH has already proven to be a valuable asset to our community. We will forever be grateful for the effort of the start-up committee, comprised of Bill & Rosalie McEvily, Bill & Barb Schrouder, Rick & Jean Thompson, Bill & Nancy Kays, Tom & Betty Rakovan, Bob & Margo Shaw.

A message from our president:

July 31, 2025

Dear Friends of Keuka Comfort Care Home,

We are writing to share an important update about our leadership transition and the thoughtful direction the Board has chosen as we move forward.
First, we want to express our heartfelt thanks to Karen Walker, who recently submitted her resignation from the position of Executive Director. Karen has served the Keuka Comfort Care Home with dedication, compassion, and professionalism. Her commitment to our mission and the families we serve has left a lasting impact. We are truly grateful for her service and wish her continued success and fulfillment in all that lies ahead.
With gratitude and excitement, we are pleased to announce that Donna Nielson, who previously led our organization with remarkable care and steady guidance, has agreed to return in an interim capacity as Executive Director, beginning August 11, 2025.. This one-year interim appointment ensures experienced leadership during this time of reflection and strategic planning.
We are also grateful to Ashley Jones, who will be stepping into expanded responsibilities during this interim period. Her dedication to our mission is evident, and we are excited to support her continued growth as a leader within our organization.
The decision to implement an interim leadership model is intentional and rooted in our commitment to thoughtful progress. Over the next year, the Board will undertake a structured review of our strategic direction and leadership needs. This will allow us to carefully consider the qualities and structure best suited to guide Keuka Comfort Care Home into its next chapter.
We are fortunate to have the strength of experienced leadership while also nurturing the emerging voices of our talented team. This thoughtful balance will support our continued growth as we honor the values that have always guided our home.
Thank you for your continued trust, generosity, and support.

Warmly,

Laura M. Opelt
President, Board of Directors
