Home Care After Discharge from
Wilkes Medical Center
Wilkes Medical Center — part of the Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist system at 1370 West D Street in North Wilkesboro — serves as the regional hospital for Wilkesboro and the broader Wilkes County community. With over 70 years of service to the community, it offers a full range of acute care, surgical, rehabilitative, and specialty services.
When a parent or spouse returns home from Wilkes Medical Center after surgery, a fall, a cardiac event, or another health episode, the first weeks at home are critical. Ashe Home Care provides the hands-on support that helps patients recover safely — from personal care and medication reminders to simply ensuring someone is there to help if something goes wrong. Our RN director reviews discharge instructions and makes sure care at home aligns with what the hospital recommended.

Helping Wilkesboro Seniors Age in Place and Stay Connected
Social isolation is one of the most significant — and least discussed — health risks for older adults in smaller communities. Seniors in Wilkesboro who live alone, have limited mobility, or have lost a spouse may go days without meaningful social contact. Research consistently links isolation to faster cognitive decline, increased depression, and higher risk of hospitalization.
Ashe Home Care’s companion care services are specifically designed to address this. Our caregivers do not just complete tasks — they build genuine relationships with clients. They engage in conversation, share activities, provide encouragement, and become a consistent, trusted presence in your loved one’s life. For many families, this companionship dimension of care is just as important as the physical assistance.
Companionship That Supports Well-Being
- Meaningful conversation
- Consistent caregiver relationships
- Reduced isolation
- Support with daily routines
Personalized Home Care Plans — No One-Size-Fits-All Approach
Every client in Wilkesboro receives a free in-home assessment conducted by or under the supervision of our Registered Nurse. We take the time to understand your loved one’s specific needs, health history, daily routine, and personal preferences before developing a personalized Wellness Plan. That plan is revisited and adjusted as needs change over time.
Your family will always know what care is being provided and why. We believe in transparent, open communication — and we welcome your input every step of the way.
