Adding Life To Your Days. People with serious illnesses face unique issues that traditional healthcare does not address. When treatment is no longer possible or effective, many people feel afraid, overwhelmed, or defeated—all while still battling the disease every day. Hospice is a special kind of healthcare that aims to ease the person’s suffering, relieve social, emotional, or spiritual pain, and provide support for family and friends affected by the illness. Burke Hospice and Palliative Care’s team of professionals works with your doctor to create your plan of care. Each hospice team member will then schedule visits in your home - • A nurse to manage and ease your medical condition • A nurse’s aide to assist with bathing and grooming • A social worker to help with social, emotional, or family issues • A chaplain for spiritual care • A volunteer for companionship and family support Located in Valdese, NC, we serve Burke, Catawba, Caldwell, Avery, McDowell, Rutherford, Cleveland and Lincoln counties. We are committed to providing excellent care for your loved one. Call Burke Hospice today to learn how we can help your loved one—and the whole family.
