13th Annual Smoke on the Water benefits HospiceCare and will be held on Kanawha Boulevard in Charleston, WV.
With a strong reputation for quality care developed over the past 30 years, HospiceCare dedicates itself to easing the pain and suffering associated with terminal illnesses, while providing peace and comfort in order to maximize our patients’ quality of life. When patients no longer wish to pursue active treatment, HospiceCare steps in to manage their symptoms and provide personal and emotional support, allowing the patient and the family to cherish their days with less stress.
Patients and their families find reassurance within the arms of HospiceCare, which provides an entire team of caring people to assure all needs are met. The team includes: the patient's primary physician who oversees medical care in concert with HospiceCare’s medical director; a nurse case manager who makes regular visits and is on call 24 hours a day / 7 days a week; a social worker who listens, counsels and offers resources and support; a certified nursing assistant to provide personal care; a chaplain who is available to assist with spiritual concerns; a Counselor who comforts during the illness and after the death of loved ones for a year; and a team of volunteers who offer a helping hand or a listening ear for the patient and the family.
Patients may choose to receive care in their homes, in a long-term care/assisted living facility or at the Hubbard Hospice House, West Virginia's first home-like inpatient facility. Opening its doors in April 2001 with 12 private patient rooms, the Hubbard House has since expanded to 24 rooms to keep up with the increased demand for service by grateful patients.
HospiceCare is proud to serve 16 counties across Central West Virginia, including: Boone, Braxton, Clay, Fayette, Greenbrier, Jackson, Kanawha, Lincoln, Mason, Monroe, Nicholas, Pocahontas, Putnam, Roane, Summers, and Webster counties.
