Known for our compassionate, patient-centered care, Carolina Caring offers individualized attention from your own health care team that includes doctors, nurses, nursing aides, social workers and spiritual counselors. For more than 40 years, our commitment to holistic, patient-centered care has helped to improve patients’ quality of life while bringing comfort and peace during a challenging time.

Our services are available locally and can help you make good decisions about serious illness care, which can be delivered anywhere our patients call home - including nursing homes, assisted living centers, hospitals or in your home.

While cost should not drive the decision to choose hospice or palliative care, many people are helped by the reduced financial burden it can bring. Medicare and other insurance plans may cover everything you need related to hospice care. There is often a co-payment/co-insurance for palliative care visits to a patient’s home depending on the insurance that the patient carries.

If you are receiving palliative medicine services you may receive care from a local nurse practitioner. If you are a Hospice patient, a health care team will be assigned to assist you and your loved ones.

Health conditions our teams assist with include heart failure, cancer, lung disease, dementia and more.

Palliative care focuses on symptom management to improve quality of life at any stage of illness and help patients maintain the ability to do what they enjoy. It often reduces depression and anxiety as compared to standard care because it allows patients to retain as much control as is reasonable while providing an extra layer of support.
