What to watch for with hospice care in Raleigh

  • Medicare's hospice benefit covers the hospice team, medications related to the terminal diagnosis, and equipment. It does not cover room and board in a facility.
  • Palliative care is not the same thing. It focuses on symptom relief and can run alongside treatment intended to cure, at any stage.
  • You can change hospice providers, and you can revoke hospice and return to curative treatment.

The Raleigh market specifically

State capital and hub of the Triangle, home to WakeMed Raleigh Campus, UNC REX Healthcare, and Duke Raleigh Hospital, with dense senior-services infrastructure and the region's largest network of home-care agencies and assisted living communities.

As the metro's hub, Raleigh has by far the largest concentration of licensed adult care homes, CCRCs, and skilled nursing facilities in the Triangle, so families here usually compare five or more options rather than one or two.

Visit twice, at different hours

A scheduled mid-morning tour and an unannounced 7 p.m. drop-in can look like two different buildings. Evening and overnight are when staffing thins and when families are most often surprised.

Eat a meal there. Talk to a resident's family member in the parking lot rather than one the community introduces you to.

You can check any facility's record free. NC DHSR's Regulated Facilities search shows license status; its ACLS tool shows inspection history and penalties. Read the full explanation →

Questions families ask

What is Central Pines Regional Council and why does it show up when I search for Triangle senior services?

Central Pines Regional Council is the current name for what was formerly known as Triangle J Council of Governments -- the regional planning organization that operates both the Area Agency on Aging and the regional Long-Term Care Ombudsman office for Wake, Durham, Orange, Chatham, Johnston, Lee, and Moore counties. Older references to 'Triangle J' or 'TJCOG' refer to this same organization under its previous name.

If I report a concern to the Ombudsman, will the facility retaliate against my family member?

Retaliation against a resident for raising a concern is prohibited, and it is precisely one of the core rights the Ombudsman Program exists to protect -- residents have the right to voice grievances without fear of discrimination or reprisal. If a family is worried about retaliation, they can discuss this concern directly with the regional Ombudsman office, which is experienced in navigating these situations carefully and, per the program's consent rule, will only act with the resident's permission.

Can a family member request an Ombudsman visit on behalf of a resident who has dementia and can't request one themselves?

Yes, families can contact the regional Ombudsman office to raise a concern on behalf of a resident who lacks capacity to request help directly, but the program's consent-based approach means the ombudsman will still work to understand and honor the resident's own wishes to the extent possible, and may involve a legal representative or guardian where one exists. Contact the appropriate regional office -- Central Pines (1-800-310-9777) for most of the Triangle, or Kerr-Tar (1-866-506-6223) for Franklin County -- to discuss the specific situation.

How do I report suspected elder abuse or neglect in Wake County?

Contact Wake County Human Services Adult Protective Services at 919-212-7264 (fax 919-212-7354) to report suspected abuse, neglect, or exploitation of an older or disabled adult. If the person is in immediate danger, call 911 first.
