Your Only Community Non-Profit Provider of Hospice and Palliative Care

Serving patients in Greenwood, Laurens, Edgefield, Abbeville, McCormick, Newberry, and Saluda Counties since 1981.

Professional. Compassionate. At the Heart of All We Do.

As the area’s only non-profit hospice and palliative care organization, Care of the Piedmont is positioned to provide high-quality, professional and innovative inpatient, in-home, hospice and palliative care services to patients living in the Piedmont areas of South Carolina. 

At its core, our organization focuses on what matters most: providing people from all walks of life the compassionate care they deserve.

It Starts with Empathy

To us, it’s simple: we treat and honor our patients and their family members the way we’d want to be treated. This is how we frame everything we do, and it’s only the foundation for the love and care we bring to those we serve.

For more than 40 years, we’ve earned the trust of more than 10,000 hospice and palliative care patients and their families through every step of their journey.

Together, with a team of a highly qualified and deeply caring medical team and support staff, we seek to enrich the lives of those entrusted to our care.

Started By the Community. For the Community.

And still committed to serving the community.

As the area’s only non-profit hospice and palliative care organization for Greenwood, Laurens, Edgefield, Abbeville, McCormick, Newberry, and Saluda, we prioritize a community-first mindset.

Care of the Piedmont was founded in 1981 by local medical professionals who saw a growing need for compassionate and affordable hospice and palliative care.

Fast-forward more than 40 years later, our board of directors are still prominent local leaders, who put the needs of our region’s community members first. They have a thorough understanding of how to best serve our area, because they do life and business here, too.

It’s one of the many ways Care of the Piedmont stands apart from other for-profit hospice organizations in South Carolina.

And through the next forty years – and beyond – we promise to continue to prioritize the needs of our community above all else.

Reviews

  • β€œ[Care of the Piedmont] is definitely a 5-star hospice care facility. I have experience with both friends going there for their final journey and have seen quality and compassionate care for not only the patient but for their family. I also have a therapy dog that volunteers with me there and I have experienced first hand the loving place that it is. They make a very hard time of life just a little bit better for both the patients and families.”

  • β€œThe most warm and caring staff. They took such great care of my mother and helped us deal with everything that comes with the end of life with a loved one.”

    Danny K.

  • β€œI love this company, the people that work here were very sweet to my grandmother and me. The registered nurse Robinson was very friendly and very open. She waited late at night until almost 11pm to make sure everything was OK with my family. Losing a loved one is very difficult, but when you have support it makes it better.”

    Juan H.

  • β€œDr. Wicker and the staff of Hospice Care are a true blessing. She provided excellent care for my Dad and I couldn't have made it through without the caring staff. They were there for me every minute of our stay.”
