A Home Away From Home
for families and caregivers with loved ones in Silicon Valley hospitals
Day Use

A quick shower, a cup of coffee or a spot to make some calls. Our house is a ‘home away from home’ for anyone with a loved one in Bay Area hospitals.
Dinner is Served

Sometimes the best reminder of home is a hot meal with good people. The JW House community provides home cooked meals to our guests every night.
Overnight Lodging

Being close to ailing loved ones makes a difficult time a bit easier. We provide overnight lodging and meals so caregivers can be there, when it really matters.
Special Message Regarding COVID-19
Dear Friends,
Over the last few months, we have had to make some difficult decisions to ensure the safety of our guests, volunteers, and staff. JW House closed our doors in March, pausing our Day Use and Dinner is Served Programs, as well as all volunteering. We continued to provide lodging to any family in need through our generous partner hotels.
After extensive planning and enhancing our safety measures at the House, including implementing health checks to all who enter the House, we have slowly begun to reopen our services. We are currently serving registered overnight families at JW House, as well as our partner hotels.
We recently launched our Dinner Pickup program as an alternative to our traditional Dinner is Served program. We are now providing complimentary contact-free pickup meals for families with loved ones in local hospitals, multiple nights per week.
Day Use program remains on hold until further notice. Weekly volunteers have been welcomed back, should they feel comfortable. All staff, volunteers and guests are required to wear face coverings/masks and wash hands frequently while at JW House.
We look forward to resuming additional services and welcoming all volunteers and guests back when it is safe to do so. Thank you for being patient and sticking by our side during this time.
Thank you and please stay healthy!
