ABODE is Home
Most of us would prefer to die at home. It’s not easy to do. Perhaps you can no longer live by yourself. Or your home isn’t conducive to a quiet, peaceful death. Or perhaps your loved ones now need help caring for you around-the-clock.
We are the only 501(c)(3) nonprofit end-of-life care home in San Antonio offering contemplative care for those in the last three months, weeks or days of life. We provide our service at no charge to our Guests, hospice or insurance. We welcome and depend on the generosity of you – our donors – to support our sacred work.
We are here to serve you during your most tender of days.
“You matter because you are you. You matter until the last moment of your life and we will do all that we can do, not only to help you die peacefully, but to live until you die.”
– Dame Cicely Saunders
