JUNE NIBJ: A place of comfort: How the Schneidmiller Hospice House transforms end-of-life care in North Idaho
In the heart of Coeur d’Alene, the Schneidmiller House offers more than medical care, it provides a sanctuary of compassion, dignity, and peace for those at the end of life. As North Idaho’s only freestanding inpatient hospice facility and the largest in the Inland Northwest, it delivers expert care in a warm, home-like environment. Its true impact is felt in the comfort it brings to families, the support it offers caregivers, and the way it embraces the community during life’s most challenging moments.
Owned and operated by the nonprofit Hospice of North Idaho (HONI), the facility was established in 2011 as the first and only hospice inpatient unit in the state. It was named the Schneidmiller House in 2016 in honor of Mannie and Gladys Schneidmiller, local philanthropists and long-time supporters of the hospice mission. Each private suite is thoughtfully designed to feel like home, offering space for loved ones to stay close. HONI staff are available around the clock to manage symptoms and provide emotional and spiritual support to both patients and families.
