We serve patients throughout Beaufort and Jasper counties of the South Carolina Lowcountry. Because our coastal area is a prime vacation destination, we often have vacationers who are hospice patients from other states who need our services on a temporary basis. We are happy to serve our guest patients in the manner to which they are accustomed.
If you and your family are considering a vacation to our area, please call for more details. We work with hospice agencies across the country to provide excellent care for their traveling patients.
