In short
- We serve these counties: Wake and Durham Counties. Check every referral address against our service area before accepting it.
- We must offer every hospice service in every county we serve, day and night.
- Expanding our service area needs 30 days' written notice to the Division first; a new office needs a certificate of need and a license.
- If records are kept at another office, know where they are: the Division can ask for them with 72 hours' notice.
- If you cannot staff a county, tell the Administrator right away.
