About Carolina Caring
CARE FOR OUR COMMUNITY
Our Story
For 45 years, we have served as a beacon of hope and healing.
In 1979, Carolina Caring was established as one of North Carolina’s original three hospice providers. We were a small group of grassroots volunteers with a mission: to help our parents, grandparents and neighbors walk through their final moments with dignity and respect.
In the decades since, we have established ourselves as a valued resource for patients throughout western North Carolina. We comfort and uplift our community members by providing end-of-life care and palliative medicine for adults and children. We also provide home-based primary care for those with mobility issues that prevent much needed services.
