Miriam's House is an affirmation of life: a home, a place in which women with AIDS - who otherwise have nowhere else to live - find warm acceptance, gentle challenge, and compassionate care.  Standing firmly in the belief that women living with HIV deserve the best we can give them, Miriam's House Board and staff strive daily to maintian compassionate presence to these women and to tell them in every way possible, " You are loved. You are worthy of love."

Miriam's House offers three levels of housing here on our one site, wrapped around a program of comprehensive services and support for recovery and sobriety: 

* a transitional program for women who recover health and are able to plan for a move to independent living
* hospice (contracted with one of the area's professional organizations) for women who are living their last days
* a permanent residence for as long as it is appropriate, for women who need neither of the other alternatives.

In-house services include addiction counseling, secondary medical care, respite care for mothers, support groups, financial counseling, personal care aide, transportation to appointments, and the loving support of a compassionate community.

Off-site services include physical, occupational, and speech therapies, medical care, counseling, acupuncture and alternative therapies, adult HIV/AIDS daycare, and NA/AA meetings.
