Hildegard House is Kentucky's first and only comfort care home. Through the support of our community and with the help of many volunteers, we provide a home and compassionate care for individuals at the end of life who have no home or loved ones to care for them so that they may die with dignity.
The heart of Hildegard House is our volunteers. A special group of volunteers are Compassionate Companions. These volunteers commit to a weekly 5-hour shift, or a couple of weekend shifts per month, and become a community of caregivers for our residents. These dedicated volunteers help with fixing a meal, housekeeping, and sitting bedside, offering companionship, Compassionate Companions serve residents just as they would care for a loved one at a home, providing care in shifts 7 am to noon, noon to 5 pm and 5 pm to 10 pm, 7 days a week. You'll have the ability to schedule yourself with an easy-to-use app or by signing in to a website.
If you are interested in joining our community of Compassionate Companions, let us know. Our volunteer coordinator will be in touch to schedule a tour of the house and register you for one of our monthly training sessions. Compassionate Companions must be over the age of 18.

Mission Statement
We provide care and compassion to individuals at the end of life who have no home or family so they may die with dignity.
Description
We are a comfort care home, providing quality end of life care to individuals who have no family or home so that they may access hospice services. We do not bill insurance or charge residents, relying solely on charitable contributions and community support. Our Compassionate Companion volunteers serve as the residents' family during the last months of their lives and provide the kind of care one would provide to someone in their own home at the end of life (personal care, feeding, companionship, etc).
