Our Lady of Perpetual Help Home, a skilled nursing facility operated by the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne, is  dedicated to providing palliative care to persons afflicted with incurable cancer.  The Home, supported solely by voluntary donations from the public, is a free home for those who cannot afford to pay for needed care.  No payments are accepted from patients or their families, or from third parties such as insurance companies or government agencies.

As a Catholic Home, we respect the sanctity of life and the dignity of each human being. Thus, the Home is operated according to "The Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services" promulgated by the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, and euthanasia  and assisted suicide will never be practiced in the Home.

We will proclaim the Gospel of Life: "In every child which is born and in every person who lives or dies we see the image of God's glory.  We celebrate this glory in every human being, a sign of the living God, an icon of Jesus Christ."
