Hospice of Rockingham County most often provides care in a patient's home, but we can provide care wherever "home" may be: assisted-living facilities, nursing homes, retirement homes, or group homes. We also provide care in our own state-of-the-art inpatient facility. Opened in 2007, this is the only facility of its kind in Rockingham County. Offering five inpatient beds and three residential beds, the Hospice Home is a warm, inviting, and peaceful option when caring for a patient at home is no longer possible. Its central location in the county means less travel time for the caregiver and more time to spend with their loved one.
Hospice of Rockingham County's staff is comprised of compassionate individuals who have more than 240 years' collective experience providing end-of-life care and who choose to live and work in this area to care for those who are their friends and neighbors. This leads to expedient response times, especially when after-hours issues arise. Families usually receive a phone call within 10 minutes of contacting our answering service; if a home visit is needed, on-call staff typically arrive within an hour of being contacted.
In addition to end-of-life care, we offer our Supportive Care Program for individuals not medically appropriate for hospice care or for those who are appropriate but emotionally may not
