Hospice Care
Hospice of Stanly & the Uwharrie provides a full spectrum of hospice care
in patients’ homes, assisted living facilities, long-term care facilities or in Atrium Health Stanly. Hospice patients are as active as possible in their care decisions, choosing where they want to live and when they want to receive services.
Our home care program focuses on caring for, not curing, terminal illness. Our team-oriented approach provides a range of family services to help make life easier for everyone, including medical consultation, skilled nursing care, pain management through medication, hospice aides, coordination and delivery of medical equipment, and counseling and emotional and spiritual support for patients and their families.
