Check-In:

Guests can check in between 3 p.m. and 8 p.m., seven days a week. Guests may check-in no earlier than one day prior to treatment and will be allowed to stay one day following the completion of their treatment in accordance with physician orders.

During check-in, guests will complete the registration paperwork and be given a tour of Helenโ€™s House. All guests will need a valid driverโ€™s license or other photo ID to complete the check-in process.

Meals:

Guests can prepare their own meals in the fully-equipped kitchen and dine in our spacious dining room. Each guest will be assigned their own pantry area and refrigerator/freezer space for their personal food items. These areas will be marked with the guestโ€™s room number. Cooking equipment and utensils, as well as coffee and tea, are provided free of charge.

Community groups and organizations do prepare meals for our guests through our Chefโ€™s Night In program. These dinner nights vary and are posted throughout the house to notify guests when there is a dinner. Otherwise, guests are responsible for preparing their own meals.

Linens will be provided upon arrival and guests are responsible for laundering linens during their stay. Coin-operated laundry facilities are located on both floors for your use. Housekeeping is provided once a week, which includes vacuuming and thorough cleaning of the bathroom. Guest are asked to make their bed, tidy the room, empty the trash and dust.
