Brian's House – A Caring Home for the Terminally Ill

Welcome to Brian's House

Since June of 2017, we provide day-to-day care of someone with a terminal illness. Our staff and volunteers are trained specifically to provide day-to-day care to our guests, not only physical care, but emotional care as well.

We also believe it is important to provide support to families and friends of our guests. If they need to just talk, a shoulder to lean on, or someone just to sit quietly with them, we are just outside their loved one’s door.

For more information or to schedule a visit, please call 989.892.4616 or send an email to info@brians-house.org

Testimonials

Brian’s House cared for my father in law at the end of his life. It is a place made to feel like home where family can be comfortable visiting and loved ones can spend their days peacefully and well cared for. All the extra touches such as the hand made quilts and curtains, bird feeders outside the windows, comfortable seating areas with homey decor, and friendly caregivers make everything easier during difficult times. They really made an effort to follow our wishes to be together at the end. Could not ask for a better place.

My dear sweet grandmother was in Brian’s House for the last week of her time on earth. The staff was amazing. Beyond amazing. They made us feel like we were family & treated my grandmother like a queen. We were able to rest peacefully knowing she was loved & cared for in her final days. I honestly couldn’t say enough good things about this place. 🩷

It was a very nice experience to come in and see Brian’s House and check it out while my grandmother was there. They let me in during Covid to see her in comfort before her last day. They give the resident there are lots of care and love.

Brian’s House is incredible. The staff were amazing and gave our family the space and support we needed when losing our dad. We were even able to bring our dog in to say goodbye to him. Couldn’t thank them enough.

Brian’s House was so just what our family needed for my mom’s last week of life. We just couldn’t care for her at home without extra help anymore and they provided the comfort and compassionate care during these difficult last days. Every caregiver treated her so gently and their care was so greatly appreciated. Thank you for being there in our greatest time of need.
