Care that meets families where they are.

North Carolina Medicaid provides respite care for medically fragile children, but accessing that care can be difficult for kids with complex needs, especially those with life-limiting conditions. Piper's Place changes that. Our home offers a safe, engaging environment where children receive around-the-clock medical care while also getting to be kids. Aqua therapy, sensory rooms, adaptive playgrounds, and everyday childhood activities are all part of the experience, tailored to children with severe disabilities and terminal conditions. For caregivers, respite care means time to breathe. For children, it means time to play.

Palliative care is about reducing pain and improving quality of life. At Piper's Place, dedicated palliative rooms give families space to explore new therapies, start new medications, or begin a new supportive service, all in a setting that feels like home rather than a hospital.

When a family's time with their child is measured in days or weeks, the last thing they should worry about is medical logistics. Piper's Place offers a bridge between hospital and home, a space designed for dying children and their families to be together in comfort. With 24/7 care, families are free to be present with their child, to hold them, to read to them, to simply sit together. The focus is time, togetherness, and peace.
