The Sloan Comfort Care Home, a welcoming residence in Sloan, NY.

Let our home
be your home.

A home, not a hospital. Two bedrooms, paid caregivers and community volunteers, and care that never sends a bill. Since 2020, more than eighty-six neighbors have been welcomed home.

01 Welcome

A home, not a hospital.

Sloan Comfort Care Home is a place where dying is not postponed or interrupted by clinical routine. We open our doors to neighbors in their final weeks, and we open our hearts to the families who walk beside them.

No bill. No rush. Just a room with a window, a hand to hold, and a meal cooked the way you like it.

02 The Model

Care without compromise.

Three commitments that shape every day at Sloan, and every neighbor we welcome.

The Promise

No bill. No paperwork. No exception.

Patients, families, and insurance are never charged for the care we provide. The home runs on the generosity of community gifts alone.

The Place

Two bedrooms. Two stories at a time.

We host only two guests at any moment so every neighbor receives the dignity of full attention from our caregivers and volunteers.

The People

Caregivers and neighbors, side by side.

Paid caregivers handle the technical work. Neighbors and volunteers handle the everyday. Hospice manages the medical care so families can focus on what matters.

03 The Story

Eight years from an idea
to a neighbor's home.

  1. 2016

    Founded.

    A small group of Lutheran volunteers and a fresh 501(c)(3) put the vision on paper. Erie County had no comfort care home of its own.

  2. 2020

    Doors opened.

    After four years of fundraising and a careful renovation, the Gierlach Street house welcomed its very first guest.

  3. Today

    86+ neighbors welcomed.

    Every guest brings a story. Every story brings a family. Every family becomes part of ours.

04 Be Part of It

A neighbor's hand.

Every guest at Sloan is welcomed because someone said yes — to a shift, a meal, or a gift in memory.

A volunteer moment at the Sloan home.
Volunteer

Give an afternoon.

Hold a hand. Cook a meal. Read a story. Volunteers run alongside paid caregivers every day of the year.

Become a volunteer
Give

Give in memory.

Sloan runs entirely on community giving. Every gift — a one-time honor or a monthly commitment — carries another neighbor home.
