Reduced Room Rates ...​
THE BIRD HOUSE Board is pleased to announce it has voted to make our home more affordable for all by lowering our daily rates. Previously asking $250 a day, we now offer three rooms at $175 per day. Two of our five rooms are now available for $100 a day for those eligible for Medicaid. 


BIRD HOUSE TEAM ATTENDS
​SOCIAL HOSPICE NETWORK CONFERENCE
(Now Omega Home Network)
Lansing, MI   July 20-22. 2016

Carolyn Zasier (Marketing Volunteer), Diana Tharp (Board Member), Halie Lopez (Caregiver), Sanjana Raghavan (Volunteer Coordinator)  and Carol Tippe (Board President) enjoyed four days learning about other social hospice homes in various stages of development. All joined by the same passionate mission - compassionate, dignified end-of-life care for the dying - relationships were forged and old friendships rekindled. There are now twenty open homes offering services in 15 states.  Everyone was thrilled by the number of homes represented at the conference and re-energized by the sharing of common experience.  Looking forward to next year already!
The Social Hospice Network announced its new name during the conference.  Henceforth it will be known as the Omega Home Network.

​We are so very grateful and honored by the generous donation of our full house generator by Ace Electric of North Liberty, 3E, and Kuenster Heating and Air LLC! Bob and Robin Schulty, owners of Ace Electric and Jim Hess, (estimator) came out to the Bird House for a tour and then surprised us with a wonderful plaque for the donated generator during a heartfelt speech. The three businesses involved in the installation donated their services and materials. The generator was given in honor of: Jackie Blum, Bob Blum, and Carrol Shelangoski.

The gift, worth over $9000, will assure our guests of electricity in all the weather situations Iowa can dish out.
Thank you from THE BIRD HOUSE.
