ABOUT US

High Country Health Care System is a non-profit, private, community based, home health and hospice care organization that has been in the business of providing healthcare services to Alleghany, Ashe and Watauga counties for over 30 years. We recently expanded our Home Health nursing services to include the people of Wilkes County.

OUR MISSION

The mission of High Country Health Care System is to provide comprehensive, quality health care in the least restrictive, most cost effective and most desirable setting – the home. We honor the traditions and values of those we serve, always striving to assist our patients and their families in celebrating life to its fullest! 

WHAT IS HOME HEALTH CARE?

Home Health Care can be a tremendous help to those who are homebound but do not need continuous nursing care and who wish to be cared for in the home. High Country Home Health promotes healthy living and a safe environment by teaching you how to maintain your health and strength in the privacy of your home. You participate in your own care without giving up your personal freedom or privacy.
