Lower Cape Fear Hospice and LifeCareCenter Revenue and Competitors

Community volunteers interested in hospice care founded Lower Cape Fear Hospice Inc. in Wilmington, N.C., in 1980. \n\nMost of the 1,000 patients we serve each day receive care where they live -- in their homes, nursing homes and assisted living facilities. We also offer our services to patients in hospitals. \n\nWe operate three inpatient hospice care centers: Wilmington, Bolivia, and Whiteville. These acute care centers offer patients and families a serene, homelike setting with large private rooms with room for family. These centers are available exclusively for LCFL patients.\n\nOur services are available in Bladen, Brunswick, Columbus, New Hanover, Onslow and Pender counties in North Carolina and we also serve Horry, Georgetown and Marion counties in South Carolina.\n\nOur Palliative Care team works with patients and their physicians to improve quality of life, identify and aggressively treat symptoms, clarify a patient's condition and prognosis, and set achievable goals that honor a patient's wishes.\n\nFree community grief support services for adults are available, and Sunrise Kids offers in-school programs, individual counseling, and summer camps for grieving children.\n\nWe offer educational presentations, seminars, and conferences on end-of-life care topics. Assistance with advance directives and identifying and choosing healthcare choices is available through our Begin the Conversation program at www.begintheconversation.org.\n\nLower Cape Fear Hospice is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization supported by the Lower Cape Fear Hospice Foundation. \n\nwww.lifecare.org
