Take a Virtual Tour
It’s not always possible to come to Fairfield County House and walk through the residence in person.
In that case, we suggest watching our Virtual Tour video below.
Our Mission
Our goal is to provide professional and compassionate care in a warm and welcoming residence so that people can spend meaningful time with loved ones at the end of life.

Fairfield County House helps our residents leave this world surrounded by family and friends in a supportive environment. We encourage joy in sadness and laughter in sorrow. We believe that there is still a lot of living to do here!"
No one has a better staff to resident ratio at 1 to 3.
We believe this is critical to providing quality, attentive care.
Fairfield County House is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization established in 2012 dedicated to filling the gap in the delivery of care for those receiving hospice services through a hospice agency. We are the first free-standing residence for people on hospice in Connecticut and are licensed as an assisted living facility.
"We were so grateful that a bed became available for Edith the same day that we learned she did not qualify for in-hospital hospice. Learning about FCH gave us the peace of mind we were missing if she had been discharged for hospice at home. We know she was well cared for and we so appreciate that she was able to be at FCH through the end. Thank you!"
