About

At Bailey-Boushay House, our mission is to provideexceptional care to people with HIV/AIDS as well asthose needing end-of-life care with conditions includingcancer, ALS and Huntingtons disease, among others.
Many of our clients and residents are disenfranchised andusually not given the simple respect and care every humandeserves. They are facing serious health issues, yet they havebeen overlooked and underserved.

The Residential Care Program is a 35 bed skilled nursing facility for people living with HIV/AIDS and other life threatening illnesses. The program provides 24 hour support to individuals who require a higher level of care than a traditional nursing home can offer.

The Out-Patient Program serves people with HIV/AIDS who are living independently in the community. It provides nursing care, counseling, meal service, and social activities to approximately350 clients. The program operates seven days a week from 6:30 AM to 4:00 PM for those not utilizing our Emergency Homeless Shelter, that has been successfully meeting the shelter needs for 50 of Bailey-Boushay House's most vulnerable clients. This low barrier shelter opened November 1, 2018.
