Offering world- class care for those living with serious illness for more than 40 years, we bring patient-centered hospice and palliative medicine services to families in our community. Our specialized health care teams are led by doctors and include specially-trained nurses, nursing assistants, social workers and spiritual counselors who provide physical, emotional and spiritual support to help bring peace of mind to our patients.

Carolina Caring’s hospice and palliative care services provide skilled healthcare teams made up of local people who live in the communities they serve. These doctors, nurses, social workers and spiritual counselors offer an extra layer of support to help manage symptoms and assist with activities of daily living.

The best time to seek palliative care services is when you are first diagnosed with a serious illness like cancer or diseases of the heart, lungs or other organs in your body. Patients should seek hospice care if their illness is terminal, and they are are thought to be in the last six months of life.

An expert team of Nurse Practitioners are available locally to care for you and your loved ones. Palliative medicine services may be delivered by Nurse Practitioners Vida Owusu, NP-C, Jacqueline Brown, FNP-C and Robin Sherrill, FNP-C. If you are a hospice patient, a health care team will be assigned to assist you and your loved ones.

Palliative care services are often covered by Medicare, Medicaid and most private insurance plans. Medicare offers a Hospice Benefit for those thought to be in the final stages of terminal illness, which covers all health care costs for those who qualify.

Our goal is to care for patients in the place where they feel most comfortable. We offer services anywhere our patients prefer – in their home or in a hospital, long-term care facility, outpatient clinic or assisted living center.
