The Hinkle Hospice House

A Sanctuary for Your Family

The Henry Etta & Bruce Hinkle Hospice House is Davidson County’s only dedicated inpatient hospice sanctuary, designed to offer 24/7 expert medical care in a setting that feels like home, allowing families to set aside the role of “caregiver” and return to the role of “loved one.”

A Legacy of Support

The Hinkle Family Vision

Named in honor of longtime supporters Henry Etta and Bruce Hinkle, this house stands as a testament to their commitment to our community.

When to Consider the Hinkle Hospice House

While hospice care can happen anywhere, our inpatient facility
is a specialized resource for specific circumstances:

When pain or other symptoms become difficult to manage in a home setting and require frequent monitoring and medication adjustments.

When a patient needs stabilizing medical attention during a change in their health status.

To provide temporary relief for family caregivers, giving them the opportunity to rest while knowing their loved one is in expert hands.
