No extraordinary care needs; we must be able to provide safe & comfortable care that can be managed by staff and volunteers.

Gateway House of Peace is NOT a medical facility; care is provided as their own “family” would provide for a loved one.
We are unable to provide IV therapy, feeding tubes, or manage difficult behaviors.
Admission decisions are not based on age, creed, color, ethnic background, sexual orientation, or religious beliefs.
With the above criteria in mind, resident selection is based on the person with the greatest need and fewest options.
Maximum stay is limited to 3 months in order to provide care for as many people in our community who are in need.
