Toni and Trish House Information

Toni and Trish House for the Care of the Terminally Ill provides compassionate, dignified end of life care in a peaceful, home-like environment. At Toni and Trish no one dies alone. Mission Statement: We collaborate in the community to provide the absolute best in individualized and compassionate end of life care to all who need it. We are a home, not a facility. Yet it’s a home where there is ample support. The social environment is one of caring and offers emotional support for the families. The volunteers of the Toni and Trish House provide personal, selfless, compassionate care to each guest in a home-like environment. This home fulfills the wishes of two special women who did not know each other in life. Yet in their deaths their families have created a beautiful home for the dying. This house is a collaborative effort of two families who lost a loved one. The Toni & Trish House is named for Antoinette “Toni” (Cianek) Waskevich, who died in an automobile accident at the age of 52, and Pat “Trish” McKelvey, who died from cancer in 2005 at the age of 75. The families of both women had independently started funds in hopes of someday creating a home for the terminally ill. Upon learning of each others efforts, the families joined together to support and form the Toni and Trish House for the Terminally Ill. The home opened to the first guest in March 2008.
