Where the Heart Is -
Our Hospice House
In medieval times, a hospice was a special house where sick and weary travelers might rest during a journey. Our modern Hospice House offers a stopping place for those on a different journey: the long road of serious illness.
Your Home Away From Home
Welcome to Burke Hospice and Palliative Care's Hospice House — a refuge for people with serious illnesses who need a period of intense, hospital-like care, but don't wish to stay in the hospital. Conveniently located near downtown Valdese, the Hospice House has 14 bedrooms dedicated to comfort, privacy, and dignity. Burke Hospice nurses and staff are nearby 24 hours a day. It's the perfect place when you need a few days of "tender loving care."
Each room is decorated with comfortable, homelike furnishings. Watch television from a quilt-covered bed. Share a homestyle meal by your bay window. Have the company of family or friends without the restriction of visiting hours. Live just as you would in your own home.
And once your pain is controlled and troublesome symptoms are calmed, we know you'd rather be in your own bed. When the crisis is past, we'll get you back home as soon as we can — no endless tests or days of observation.
High Tech, High Touch
Built in 2009, our Hospice House boasts the most modern, high-tech equipment available, much like a hospital. Yet we make great efforts to minimize the appearance of the support devices. We want you and your family to feel comfortable and cozy, not bothered by electronic distractions. It's all part of our detail-oriented, "high touch" approach to medical care.
