Comfort companions, spiritual support, pet visitors, and supportive care are just a few of our specialty services we will offer. At Villa Teresa, our focus is on helping guests live as fully as possible according to their personal preferences, goals, and values.

What 24/7 compassionate care looks like:

• Personal care (bathing, toileting, dressing, help with transfers and
  repositioning, assistance with eating, medications, etc.)
• Meal preparation, laundry, housekeeping
• Comfort care and symptom management
• Education about disease progression and the dying process
• Collaboration with hospice providers
• A peaceful, comfortable end-of-life experience for all involved

We will be unable to provide skilled nursing care or treatments such as:

• Tube Feedings
• IV, IM, and SQ medications/infusions
• Dressing changes
• Blood sugar management
• Tracheostomy care
• Acute or inpatient level of care

In addition, we are limited in our ability to provide care to people over 250 lbs.

While it’s true that we do not charge for our care, our work does require funding and is dependent on the support of the greater community. We estimate our housing and services to run at a rate of $375 per day, or around $11,250 per month, for each one of our guests.

Will you help us care for the dying and their families?
