Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between hospice and palliative care?
Hospice care enhances the quality of life for individuals with life-limiting illnesses and their families through personalized support, including pain management and psychosocial care. Palliative care is specialized medical, nursing, social, and spiritual care that reduces symptoms, pain, and stress for those with chronic or advanced illnesses, and can be provided alongside curative treatment.
How much do Care of the Piedmont's services cost?
Care is provided for all medically qualified patients and is covered by Medicaid, private insurance, and donations. No one is turned away due to inability to pay. The organization relies on community generosity to ensure care for all.
Can I continue seeing my current doctor while receiving hospice care?
Yes, Care of the Piedmont patients may continue to see their current healthcare provider.
How does in-home hospice care work?
More than 90 percent of hospice care can be provided from the comfort of a patient’s home. On-call medical staff, licensed clinical social workers, and chaplains assist patients in their service areas.
How can I support the organization financially?
Monetary donations can be made online through the Care of the Piedmont Foundation. The organization is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, and donations directly support patients and their families.
