Angels Grace Hospice & Palliative Care, Illinois

What the families of our patients are saying

You will never be forgotten.

On behalf of the family and friends, I would like to express our deepest gratitude to Angels Grace for the care and devotion provided to our Mom. Barbara entered hospice care in May 2021. At that time, I recall our family meeting with your representative and signing a series of papers. I was torn between thinking that hospice meant a short-term relationship of maybe a few months, but I also knew that Mom had an inner strength and fortitude, as well as generally decent physical health, the might surprise everyone. I think that she certainly proved that. But I also now realize that it wasn't just Mom's perseverance and attitude that prolonged her life for another 38 months - she had a lot of help and it confirms the adage that 'it takes a village'. Our family would like to thank your organization for the wonderful, tender and loving care provided to Mom during these many months. We want to particularly reach out to Jamie, Jordan, Barb, and Jeanne and thank them for their outstanding dedication to ensure that Mom was always comfortable, clean and safe. Also, their communication with Mom's fulltime caregivers, as well as with family members provided everyone with a sense of calm and confidence that Mom was always in the best possible situation. May God continue to bless all of you.

The services were beautiful and the he Irish vocalist was a wonderful way to honor my dad.

I just wanted to send a thank you message to you and the staff that worked with my dad! Everyone was so caring and helpful especially in his final week, I can’t express how much your team helped us come to terms with what was happening. We are so glad that Angels Grace was with my dad and our family through this journey. Please pass along this email since I don’t have everyone’s contacts.I will highly recommend Angels Grace Hospice to anyone that I meet in this circumstance. Thank you again, God bless you all.

Naperville, IL

I am writing to thank you.

Words alone can not convey my gratitude. You were there at every step of the journey – and beyond. Her nurse was an exceptional person. Offering guidance, support, comfort and above all else, she met moms needs even before we knew there was a need. Her aid was amazing. Mom was a very independent person but she really enjoyed Kalie’s quiet visits and continued support. My last thought is to say a huge thank you to the volunteers for the teddy bear made for my mom. I will treasure it always and think of those who gave their time generously to do this. Every person I have had contact with at AGH has been amazing. Thank you for being there! The journey continues with my dad. Thank you for continuing your care and support for him.

I would like to express our sincere and heartfelt thanks for all the support you gave us.

I would like to express our sincere and heartfelt thanks for all the support you gave us. Our mom’s quality of life improved significantly while under the care of your amazing team. Her pain was managed effectively, and she received the tender loving care and extra attention that made the final months of her life so much more comfortable and peaceful. Because of your team, she was able to enjoy her arts and crafts with family and friends. We all felt very supported on this journey. Listened attentively and let me express emotions and concerns with no judgment. The call when mom passed away touched my heart and will always be cherished. The hospice nurse working the weekend of her passing, was also supportive, attentive, and calming. I was also thankful for the call from your Chaplain to ensure our family was working through the grieving process and his reiteration of the resources available to support us. Your sympathy card with the angel flower seeds was a beautiful touch! It takes incredible people to fulfill your mission. Please know that your contributions are noted and appreciated. Wishing you the best as you continue to make a difference in the lives of those you serve.

Our family is also grateful for the support you gave especially to me.

We are deeply thankful for the care and support that the entire team provided for our Mother during some challenging times as her physical and mental condition declined. Our family is also grateful for the support you gave especially to me. I found the front office to be very responsive, answering questions with compassion and understanding, especially on the few times I needed to reach out after hours. The after hours RN that came in to evaluate my Mom was thorough, caring and developed a plan of care that was carried out. I apologize that I did not write down her name. Together with RN Sue we were able to adjust our Mom's plan of care as her condition changed. I appreciated her supporting the plan of care and communicating changes in the care and/or medications. Due to so many staffing changes, agency staff etc. I was grateful for the consistency of Sue and Isabel, my Mom's CNA. Sue and Isabel worked to help my Mom be the best that she could be and be comfortable and happy in these last few months of her life. They understood her need to be with people and worked hard to get her looking nice and with her new "friends.” My Mom also benefited tremendously from the pastoral care services. Chaplain Esi was exceptional in meeting my Mom's spiritual needs through prayer, music and just being with my Mom. In fact, the one day I was present I was so moved with the Scripture she shared from Isaiah 41 and the prayer that we used that experience as one of the Bible verses in her Celebration of Life Service. We both benefited from the support of Veronica SW. She would visit my Mom which she enjoyed each visit and I appreciated the check ins as we journeyed through her declining health changes and entering the end of life. Though my Mom didn't have too many massages, Rachel's presence and gentle manner brought her much comfort. Massage therapy can definitely be a beneficial support. With our deepest gratitude to the entire team during these difficult times.

Downers Grove, IL

Thank you for all your assistance with Mom over the years.

Hi Veronica, I just wanted to reach out and thank you for all your assistance with Mom over the years. She could not have received better care from a hospice organization than she did from you, Rhonda, Kaylee and the rest of the Angel's Grace team. Your care and compassion was felt every day. Please convey my thanks again to the entire team. Again, thank you.

You served us from March 15 until he passed on April 16th.

Dear Angels Grace Hospice, Our family was so blessed to have your team care for our Guy in his last month of life! You served us from March 15 until he passed on April 16th. We had been feeling neglected by our medical providers, so for you folks to come, listen, be hands-on, (like immediate O2), was amazing to us. You made yourselves available 24/7 to answer any questions, give helpful, professional advice and instruction, relieving many of our concerns. Such comforting support! When something was needed, it appeared within hours – not days or weeks!We had exceptional caregivers. We’d like to give special recognition to Ronda, Sandy, Michele, Mollie, Rachel, Veronica, and Esi. Please accept this small token of our appreciation for such professional heart-felt care. God bless you all! Thank you!

I was comforted that he had more sets of hands and eyes on him.

I attended the Memorial Service today in honor of my husband. It has been almost 7 months since I lost my husband, friend, and companion. I must admit I cried for about half of the service and I wasn’t ashamed. This is a whole new “life” I have to adjust to and there are days when I hate it. Everything about the service today was comforting and I was pleased that I came. I was comforted that he had more sets of hands and eyes on him. For all you did and continue to do... thank you!

We also had a wonderful experience with Liz, Brandi and Monique, as they were so caring and truly angels for my dad, as well as my mom and me.
