Clarehouse

What Clarehouse does

Clarehouse, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma, that operates the first Social Model Hospice Home in the state. Founded in 2001 by registered nurse Kelley Scott and commencing guest care in 2003, the organization provides residential, around-the-clock end-of-life care in a purpose-built 10-bedroom home on a five-acre campus, free of charge to guests and their families. All guests must be enrolled in a local medical hospice program and are typically referred by hospice providers, with stays measured in weeks rather than months. Since inception, Clarehouse has served nearly 6,000 individuals through this direct-care model, and the organization explicitly does not bill Medicare, private insurance, or individuals.

The organization's product surface extends well beyond residential hospice care into a substantial education and community engagement portfolio. Core offerings include the PATH Education Series for healthcare professionals, the Live Well. Die Well. community curriculum, the Community Conversation Series (including the Ignite Compassion storytelling program with OKSO), 'We Should Talk...' group presentations, Tulsa Healthcare Decisions Day, Death Over Dinner, the Healthcare Toolkit, and The Deep End monthly podcast distributed on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, and YouTube. Add-on programs include the Sue Holloway Memorial Scholarships for nursing students, Room and Aquarium Sponsorships, the Legacy Society planned-giving program, The Circle annual giving membership, and signature annual fundraisers (Moonstruck gala and Every Moment Counts run/walk). Technology use is limited to standard web, podcast distribution, and digital publishing platforms; no proprietary software, AI/ML capabilities, or mobile applications are in evidence.

Clarehouse's revenue model is donation monetization: the organization is funded entirely through contributions from individuals, foundations, and corporate sponsors, with no fee-for-service billing. Donor stewardship is supported by a development function led by a Development Director, while education programming is managed by an Education Director. Strategic partnerships include founding membership in the Omega Home Network (2017), a clinical education relationship with the University of Oklahoma School of Community Medicine, certification support through the Hospice and Palliative Nurses Association, and recurring foundation and corporate event sponsorships. Operating with 11-50 employees plus a volunteer base, Clarehouse is governed by a board of directors, has no parent company or subsidiaries, and reports a domestic Oklahoma-only service geography.
