The mission of the Keuka Comfort Care Home is to provide a facility and staff to ensure compassionate care in a peaceful, home-like environment for our community's terminally ill residents and their families. We accomplish this by allowing our residents to live in a warm and loving atmosphere of support and encouragement during their final months of life. The home is located just south of Penn Yan, New York overlooking Keuka Lake.
Memorial Garden and Landscape Project
The Memorial Garden is under the watchful eye of Master Gardener, Mable Pierle, and other faithful volunteers. The master plan for the entire property creates a serene, peaceful, and restful environment for our residents and their families. The plan has been designed to be expanded with various trees, shrubs and flower beds, perennials, annuals, stone benches, and bird baths.

Project Updates
With snow covering our gazebo, it is hard to look outside and imagine that the excitement and beauty of Spring is not too far off. The Board of Directors, Staff, and many volunteers are waiting patiently for the day we can get down and dirty and begin work on our Memorial Garden and Landscape Project. To the left, you will find information on gifting options if you wish to donate an item.
