High Country Capital Campaign

HIGH COUNTRY PATIENT CARE UNIT

Hospice patients often need more support to address pain, symptoms and needs at end of life than can be provided at home. In 2021, the state granted AMOREM’s request to build a patient care unit in the High Country. The patient care unit will have seven beds with a full-time local staff dedicated to providing compassionate end-of-life care for residents of Ashe, Avery and Watauga counties. The homelike environment will provide large patient rooms and comfortable family areas in a peaceful setting on Moonstruck Lane in Boone, NC. Appalachian Architecture designed the beautiful facility. Currently, High Country residents must travel one to two hours to reach the closest hospice patient care unit.

Will you partner with AMOREM to bring more quality, more compassion and more support to the High Country?
