Hospice Care, Palliative Support, and Grief Counseling for Mount Airy patients and families
Trellis Supportive Care staff and volunteers provide emotional and medical comfort, hospice, and palliative care to Mount Airy residents who are facing with life-limiting illnesses. Our hospice team of nurses, physicians, and therapists provides comprehensive care to patients dealing with cancer, Alzheimer’s, congestive heart failure, COPD, dementia, and more. Around-the-clock nursing and clinical staff can provide patients and their families relief during difficult times. Patients can find relief in receiving care in a familiar place. In addition to private residences, nursing homes, assisted living communities, or group or rest homes in Mt. Airy, we also serve Dobson, Elkin and Pilot Mountain in Surry County, and Danbury, King, Walnut Cove, Tobaccoville, and Pinnacle in Stokes County.
In addition to hospice care, Trellis Supportive Care has a team of specialists available for palliative care. The palliative care specialists of Mount Airy give patients the medical, emotional, and social support needed when facing a difficult diagnosis of a serious or life-limiting illness. Appropriate during any stage of your illness, palliative care can bring you relief and peace of mind.
Going through the pain of losing a loved one can be a difficult, but necessary experience. Our experienced and thoughtful grief counselors will guide you through the mourning process and help you find the strength and encouragement you need through your hard time. Our compassionate counselors are available for individual appointments and group therapy sessions.
Tamara Gaines, Mount Airy Native and Volunteer Coordinator for Trellis Supportive Care
"It’s heartwarming to hear the stories from families who have had loved ones under Hospice Care. It shows we truly abide by our mission statement. Providing well-rounded care; not only medically but emotionally, spiritually and socially. I am proud to be part of this team, knowing my hometown [of Mt. Airy] is being touched."
Mt. Airy is a town of close-knit relationships. Tamara Gaines, Trellis Supportive Care's Volunteer Coordinator, has enjoyed seeing her hometown evolve and grow in recent years, but still relishes in the fact that neighbors know each other by name. Because of the exceptional care Trellis Supportive Care provides for Mt. Airy residents, her friends and neighbors are also beginning to know Trellis Supportive Care by name.
As a volunteer coordinator, Tamara is responsible for organizing community outreach events and training the volunteers in Surry County and Stokes County. She has lived in Surry County for most of her life and recently moved back to her hometown of Mt. Airy. Tamara knew that the opportunity to work with Trellis Supporive Care, North Carolina's original hospice and palliative care provider, and serve her community was perfect for her.
About Mount Airy and the Surry County Area
Although best known for its connection to Andy Griffith and Mayberry, the city of Mt. Airy has established itself as a serene retreat for those in North Carolina and Virginia. Located at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains and only five miles from the Virginia state line, residents and visitors enjoy both outdoor and cultural activities that are unique to the region. Pilot Mountain, Shelton Vineyards, and the Blue Ridge Music Center draw the attention of locals and visitors alike. The Autumn Leaves Festival, held every October, shows off Mt. Airy's natural beauty and rich Bluegrass history. But Mt. Airy isn't just rooted in tradition, it's a city that doesn't seem to stop growing its arts, shopping, and restaurants scenes.
