Brunswick County Schools
Brunswick County and Area Healthcare
Long-term nursing care is available in several area facilities, as are in-home medical assistance and adult day care. Assisted living is also available. These facilities allow individuals who need minimal assistance to continue to live as independently as possible, maintaining their privacy, while receiving supportive, quality care. Physician and medical services are available, along with laundry services, cultural, religious and recreational activities.
Care and counseling for the terminally ill and their families are provided by Lower Cape Fear Hospice which has served the area since 1980. Hospice also operates a live-in center in nearby Wilmington, which serves those in the region who are not able to have care provided in their homes.
There are additional regional and internationally-respected health care facilities within a short drive from our area. Just three hours away are the medical centers at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill and Duke University in Wake Forest, North Carolina.
