What you need to know
A patient can be referred to The Bird House by anyone, including their primary care physician, family, or facility staff. Our house manager might then visit the guest and their family wherever they are to explain the services of the home and gather any other information about the guest’s needs.
If all the rooms in the house are full, we have a waiting list. As soon as a room becomes available, we will contact the family.
The Bird House works with you and your loved one to create a cohesive end-of-life care plan. Our goal is to provide a home-like environment where your loved one feels safe and comfortable, experiencing their final days with peace and dignity surrounded by loved ones.
