The Open Arms House, funded by the Kaweah Health Hospice Foundation, is a peaceful and fully furnished home dedicated to providing end-of-life care with compassion, independence, respect, and dignity for patients and their loved ones. Managed by the Kaweah Health Hospice team, this non-profit corporation offers a welcoming environment with six private rooms, a kitchen, and on-site laundry facilities. Patients and their families can find solace in the inviting common area and outdoor meditation garden, providing a serene space for reflection and relaxation.
With a focus on personalized care, the Open Arms House offers 24-hour supervision and support from Kaweah Health staff, including skilled nursing, home health aides, spiritual counselors, and social workers. Community volunteers play an integral role in providing companionship, activities, and meal preparation for residents and families. The dedicated team, led by Dr. Ryan Howard, Tiffany Bullock, and Deborah Salazar, is committed to ensuring that patients receive world-class end-of-life care in Visalia, serving Tulare and Kings Counties.
The addition of the Open Arms House would not have been possible without the generous support of the Kaweah Health Hospice Foundation. This commitment to providing a compassionate home for end-of-life care reflects the organization's dedication to serving the community and upholding the values of compassion and dignity. Families can find comfort in knowing that their loved ones will receive exceptional care in a nurturing and supportive environment at the Open Arms House.
