Capital Caring is proud to announce the opening of its 50,000 square-foot, state-of-the-art, short-term palliative care and hospice facility in Loudoun County.
The Adler Center is the first of its kind, combining the most advanced short-term palliative care on an outpatient basis, as well as “Hospice at Home” and a 21-bed, in-house hospice facility where patient services are offered in a comfortable, home-like setting.
The diagnosis of an advanced illness is not the end; it is the beginning of a new phase of life. Our care-giving services focus on retaining the highest quality-of-life in the time remaining and the many options that are still available for patients and their families.
