Asheboro, NC – Hospice of Randolph County announced today that local general contractor, J.H. Allen, Inc., has contributed $15,000 to the ‘Imagine a Home’ capital campaign. The campaign is underway to raise funds for the construction of an inpatient hospice facility; also known as a ‘hospice home’.

 

“We are honored to have the support of J.H. Allen in our efforts to build a hospice home in Randolph County,” shared Board and Campaign Chair, Bob Mason. “J.H. Allen has been a long-time supporter of the hospice mission in Randolph County, and we are proud to have their friendship as we broaden access to quality hospice care in our community.”

 

To-date, approximately (90%) $1,396,494 of the $1,550,000 campaign goal has been raised. Through continued contributions from businesses, foundations and local citizens, Hospice of Randolph County hopes to reach its goal in time for ‘ground-breaking’ in late 2008.

 

The future 10-bed hospice home facility will be designed to accommodate patients who are nearing the end-of-life and have special needs that can no longer be managed at their home. The design of the hospice facility will center on creating a ‘home-like’ environment in which patients and families will be comfortable while receiving highly-skilled inpatient care and support.

 

The home will be located beside the organization’s current administrative office facility; only a quarter-mile from Interstate 73/74 (Highway 220). The construction process will take 12-18 months to complete. The total budget for the project is just over $3,000,000. Additional funds will be secured through financing and reserves.
