Hospice & Home Care
of Alexander County
Hospice Care accepts patients with any terminal illness who have a primary care giver in the home. Most hospice care is given in the home, nursing home or rest home, allowing the patient to remain in a familiar atmosphere. If hospitalization or respite care is required, hospice continues their support program, accommodating the needs of the patient and family.
