Mission Statment

The mission of Joseph's House is to provide a home, nursing services, and community for formerly homeless men and women in metropolitan Washington DC who are terminally ill and in the last weeks or months of their illness. While our primary mission is to those with AIDS, as space is available we also welcome men and women with other terminal illnesses.

A continuum of care and support is available to each resident. Joseph's House provides nursing care, emotional support, and spiritual nourishment, including comprehensive case management, 24-hour nursing care, addiction recovery support, personal care services, transitional support for those who regain their health, and end-of-life care for those who progress through the final stages of life.

Above all, Joseph's House offers a caring human presence for men and women who would otherwise face a lonely, isolated death.
