A vital part of the Duke Medicine system, Duke HomeCare & Hospice serves a unique and dignified purpose - providing innovative, thoughtful care, using an interdisciplinary team approach, to achieve the best possible outcomes for our patients and their families. Maximizing quality of life for those we serve is a priority, not only for patients, but also in the lifetime of opportunities provide to our valued employees.
Duke HomeCare & Hospice nurses can profoundly and positively affect the lives of their patients, providing the highest quality hospice, home health and infusion care services. Hospice care is offered to terminally ill patients in their home, or at skilled-nursing or assisted-living facilities, as well as at our six-bed inpatient facility in Hillsborough, North Carolina. A 12-bed inpatient care facility in Durham is expected to open in early 2009. Home health services are available to patients who are homebound and in need of nursing services and/or physical therapy, speech therapy, or occupational therapy. Infusion services are provided at home or at work for individuals who need intravenous therapy.
