A home A hope A unique approach for the compassionate care of the terminally ill.

Have you ever…?

Have you ever known anyone who died without dignity?  We all have, and if we loved that person we felt the pain of an end of life without quiet, comfort, tranquility and special care.   

Influenced by her work of over 8,000 hours with hospice patients, Ruth Willemain has envisioned a facility that would provide around-the-clock volunteer care in a home-like setting for individuals who are terminally ill and face death alone and without adequate caregiver support.  This place is called Harmony House. 

This facility will be designed to provide 24 hour personal care to 10 individuals with private rooms designed for comfort.  Common features would include a dining room, atrium and chapel.  Beautifully landscaped grounds with park benches and groomed pathways will add to the tranquil setting. 

There are people who do not have a place to spend their final months, weeks, or days with needed tranquility, peace and caring support.  This is our dream.  This is the vision which has been pursued for the last three years by the Board and supporters of Harmony House. 

Where we’ve been…

During the past year Harmony House has completed its incorporation as a 501 (c) (3) and has acquired its tax-exempt status so that all donations are tax deductible.  We have an elected Board of Directors and an Advisory Board, both of which are comprised of dedicated people from diverse backgrounds and vocations.  We have generated promotional materials, brochures and a website, which reflect the mission and vision of Harmony House. 

We have been privileged to have many committed volunteers who have helped us with our active fundraising and awareness efforts.  The vision of Harmony House is spreading and we are receiving regular donations from our ever-growing base of supporters.   We encourage you to visit our website Events & News page to learn more about our upcoming promotional activities.

Our future goals are to keep expanding awareness of Harmony House through regular promotional and fundraising events.  Our biggest and most immediate goal is to secure a location for Harmony House either by acquiring property and building a new home or by renovating an already existing facility.   Along with our pursuit of a location, we are designing the launch of our capital campaign.

Our ultimate goal is to realize the vision of Harmony House as a viable community resource.  With your help we will.
