Millions more will be added to our ranks in the near future. <br />Modern home care has all the bell and whistles of hospital care, with the <br />exception of surgery. Today, patients can receive everything from chemotherapy <br />to shampoos. Home care providers work~diligently to keep Americans in their <br />homes, where they belong. ~' <br />Founded in 1979, Duke HomeCare & Hospice provides comprehensive <br />home health, hospice and infusion services to patients and their families in <br />Alamance, Orange, Chatham, Durham, Person, Granville, Vance, Franklin and <br />Wake Counties.
