About ANCORA Compassionate Care

 

Our Mission

"To be a supportive presence for life's journey"

Our Agency

Providing quality care since 1987, ANCORA Compassionate Care is a community-based, mission-focused hospice and palliative care provider - and the only full-service provider based in Rockingham County.  The majority of patients that we care for live in Rockingham County but ANCORA also serves patients in Caswell, Guilford, and Stokes counties. With several hundred years' collective experience in the hospice field, our staff is extremely knowledgeable and skilled in providing end-of-life care. We are Medicare/Medicaid certified, and licensed by the state of North Carolina to deliver hospice services.

As added quality assurance, we choose to be accredited by ACHC (Accreditation Commission for Health Care) and were once again awarded deemed status after our 2021 survey.

PhysicianAndPatient

Hospice supports life and exists to help those with life-limiting illnesses live as comfortably and fully as possible. Services may be delivered in patients' homes, assisted living facilities, skilled nursing centers, and in Gibson House, our 8-bed inpatient facility that is conveniently located in the heart of Rockingham County.

 

Eligibility

Who is eligible for Hospice services? ANCORA Compassionate Care offers its services regardless of a person's age, race, creed, religious preferences, or ability to pay.

Many are under the impression that there is a specific diagnosis/disease required to be under hospice care but this simply is not the case; hospice care is much more focused on a patient's prognosis (i.e. life expectancy).  

HRC cares for patients that may have a variety of illnesses, including:

  • Alzheimer's Disease

  • End-stage Kidney Disease

  • Congestive Heart Failure

  • Cancer

  • ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease)

  • End-stage Heart Disease

  • Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

  • CVA (Cerebrovascular Accident, i.e. stroke)

  • End-stage Liver Disease
