Compassionate Hospice Care in Chicago & Illinois for Your Loved Ones

They focus on relieving pain or other symptoms like nausea or breathing problems. To do this, they use a mix of medication and other treatments to try to keep the patient as comfortable as possible. They also check in to see how the patient is doing and adjust the medication where needed.

Emotional support is a big part of hospice care. The team here offers counseling when needed and is always willing to listen to the patient and the family about any worries or feelings they have.

A big part of end-of-life care is making sure that the patients have the right medicines and medical supplies. The team can arrange for oxygen, mobility aids, and pain management treatments and help train the family on how to use these. Therefore, the patient can have great care at home or in our hospice.

The family is usually heavily involved in helping take care of the patient, and our team can help train you on how to do this. This could include showing how to administer medications, manage the symptoms, or use specialist equipment. They are also on hand to answer any questions.

Aside from regular care, we can offer special services specific to the patient's needs. These could include speech therapy to help with communication, physical therapy to help keep the patient mobile, or occupational therapy to assist with daily tasks. This helps maintain the patient's independence.

Sometimes, symptoms become too much to manage at home, and caregivers need a break. In such times, we can arrange for short-term care, where the patient can receive all the treatment they need. This helps make the transition to and from inpatient care easy.

We understand that the grieving process can start even before a loved one passes away, and we can help guide you through this process. They offer counseling and support groups to help families deal with their grief and adjust to life after the loss.
