Caring House was founded in 1992. The Healing Garden commemorated our 10th Anniversary and was dedicated in honor of our six founding angels: Barbara Booth, Frankie DuBose, Susie Leaming Huffines, Pat Joklik, Bunny Kerns, and Martha Erwin Uzzle. |
“Caring House is a great place. The facility is beautiful, but it's not just the facility that makes it special. It is also the support of all the staff, volunteers, and residents. At Caring House, you get both a home and a family." –Mary Ellen (Mellen) Shea |
Become a “Company of Care”. Caring House would not be possible without the support of many local organizations and corporations that donate funds to sustain our operations. It cost $75.00 to operate each of our guest rooms, but guests are only asked to pay $25.00. We are indebted to our many sponsors that provide care for our guest. |
Over 30 dedicated volunteers support our operations. Volunteers provide a variety of services including receptionist, checking-in guests, hospitality, transportation, recreational activities, and assisting with our library, garden and laundry services. If you have a talent or passion for supporting others, we need you! |
