As the first of its kind in the Central Valley, The Open Arms House (TOAH) is a non-profit that is uniquely licensed for 6 hospice residents as a Residential Care Facility for Elderly (RCFE). The Open Arms House offers a peaceful, home-like environment for terminally ill residents and provides end-of-life care that emphasizes compassion, independence, respect, and dignity.
Our Mission
To provide a home for end-of-life care for the community, by the community,
where every life matters to the very last breath and no one dies alone
Our Vision
The Open Arms House will expand public knowledge about end-of-life care choices through a community-supported charitable residence that facilitates end-of-life care with dignity, peace, and comfort for hospice patients and their loved ones. The home will provide educational opportunities for health care professionals, the faith community, families of residents, and volunteers with the hope that the natural dying process can be understood and accepted
