About Hospice

Since 1983, Hospice of Davidson County has been providing a team approach to expert medical care, pain management and emotional and spiritual support following a terminal diagnosis from illness or injury.

Our highest priority is helping our patients and their families find comfort, guidance, and peace.

Hospice Care is provided in a patient’s home, in long-term care facilities, and at the county’s only inpatient unit – The Henry Etta & Bruce Hinkle Hospice House located off of Highway 64 East in Davidson County.

Hospice team members make regular visits to provide care or services, as well as assisting a family’s needs. The frequency and type of visits provided are individualized and based on the patient and family’s needs and wants.
