Description

Crossroads House expects the family to provide food for the resident, either in the form of the food or funds with which our volunteers may shop for the resident. Crossroads may ask family to pick up medication for your loved one from the pharmacy. In rare instances due to circumstances beyond our control (weather, sickness, holidays, etc.) Crossroads may not be able to provide the second volunteer for a four hour shift. At this time we will need the family to provide care for your loved one for that particular time period.

There are a variety of volunteer opportunities at Crossroads House: Direct resident care, (we provide free training) Fundraising events, Office work, Cleaning/Organizing, joining the Board, joining Special committees, Musical Talents. If you have been blessed with special gifts, give us a call to see how your gift can bless others.

Fortunately the church believed in our mission and allowed us to rent from them for only $1.00 per month, as long as we were responsible for all the repairs and remodeling costs. What a blessing! Now we had a home that needed extensive repairs, and with no money to start the renovations. Then came more blessings ... On two different occasions we were able to get prisoners to help with the remodeling process. The community came through for us and area businesses donated building supplies and equipment. We even got volunteers to provide the manual labor.

Crossroads House staff and trained volunteers are able to care for two residents at a time. We provide warm, personalized care and support our residents and their families physically, emotionally and spiritually as the journey through the dying process, all while maintaining a dignified quality of life for the resident.

Hospice care is designed to give supportive care to people in the final phase of a terminal illness and focus on comfort and quality of life, rather than cure. The goal is to enable patients to be comfortable and free of pain, so that they live each day as fully as possible. Hospice programs generally are home-based, but they sometimes provide services away from home - in freestanding facilities, in nursing homes, in Comfort Homes or within hospitals.
