Welcome

Welcome to our home!

Matthew House is a not- for- profit, non-denominational comfort care home.  Our mission is to provide a home for people with terminal illness to die, in peace and dignity, and a comfortable setting for loved ones to be with them.

There are a variety of reasons why people turn to Matthew House for support. In addition to caring for the dying who may be alone, Matthew House may also be more comfortable for families, unlike a crowded hospital room.   Our founding group at Matthew House recognized these needs were going unmet in our area, and from this a house was born with love.

Since opening in 2002, Matthew House has welcomed 192 residents.  The kindness and compassion that are shown at Matthew House has impacted so many lives in our community, and have fostered many new friendships.  We are as fortunate to have our residents and their families as they are to have us.

While a very committed Board of Directors from our community oversees general operations and development, we are all aware of the blessing we have in Wendy Young, our Residence Director.  Wendy, her small support staff and incredible volunteers are on the front line providing outstanding care to our residents and their families during their journey.

Every day Matthew House fills a need in our community and provides comfort to many.  Matthew House is open to all residents of Cayuga County, Skaneateles and Jordan-Elbridge.  Matthew House receives no public funding or insurance reimbursement and is entirely dependent upon contributions.  We thank you for your generosity!

We are so grateful to our supporters and to our Matthew House families.
