Did You Know?
Choosing hospice is not giving up.
Hospice doesn’t mean giving up hope, and it doesn’t speed up the dying process. Studies show that those receiving hospice care live on average 25% longer than those without this added layer of care and support. Hospice is about choosing more comfort, more support, and often more time.
Our compassionate team will:
- Evaluate your loved one’s needs at no cost
- Coordinate with their physician on their behalf
- Handle all insurance and Medicare paperwork
- Begin care as soon as 24-48 hours after referral
Starting the conversation is the hardest part — we’re here to help with everything else.

What Families Are Saying
Understanding Hospice Costs
Hospice care is fully covered for most patients.
Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurance plans cover 100% of hospice services — including medications related to the hospice diagnosis, medical equipment, and supplies delivered to your home.
There are no copays, no deductibles, and no surprise bills for covered hospice services. Our team will help you understand your specific coverage before care begins.
For patients without insurance, Hospice of the Piedmont provides care regardless of someone’s ability to pay. Generous gifts from our community help make this commitment possible.

Palliative care is appropriate for someone living with a chronic or serious illness when symptom management and quality of life are important concerns, even while treatments or a cure are still being pursued. Hospice care is considered when the focus shifts fully to comfort and quality of life rather than curative treatment.
Our clinical team specializes in end-of-life symptom management – pain, shortness of breath, nausea, agitation, changes in appetite and sleep, and the emotional and spiritual symptoms families often don’t expect.
Palliative treatments are those that help ease symptoms and improve comfort. Some are associated with progressive diseases like cancer. When these interventions are helping without causing more harm than benefit, they can often continue while in hospice care.
Supportive care covers everything that helps with comfort and quality of life – pain and symptom management, breathing support, emotional and spiritual care, and family support. It’s the heart of what hospice does.
Many people continue taking routine medications in hospice care, especially those that support comfort or essential body functions and are well tolerated without causing side effects. Medications that are no longer helpful may be stopped, but those decisions are made together through conversations with you and the hospice care team.
Our team will help you understand your specific coverage before care begins. We will explain what support is available and what choosing hospice may look like for you or your loved one. Your questions will be met with compassion and honest answers each step of the way.
