Now in its 32nd year, Francis House is the only community care home for the terminally ill in Central New York. Francis House provides a sanctuary of unconditional love to those facing terminal illness, offering compassion, respect and dignity to all. We welcome every resident regardless of faith, ethnicity or ability to pay.

Francis House does not receive federal, state, county funding or insurance reimbursement, thereby relying solely on our community’s generosity to operate. More than 3,900 residents have been cared for since Francis House opened in 1991, thanks to the generosity of people like you who contribute in any number of the ways described in this section.

Your donation will support our highest priorities: to ensure every resident can be welcomed into Francis House regardless of their ability to pay, to ensure that we continue to attract and retain the very best care staff, and to expand our role as an educational resource for all individuals and families facing end-of-life care.

On behalf of the many residents and family members whose lives will be touched by your generosity, we thank you.
