Hospice Foundation of America

Hospice & Palliative · Illinois · Free

Education and resources for those facing end-of-life issues and grief. Useful when curative treatment is becoming harder than the disease — palliative care doesn't mean giving up. Most hospice care happens at home with a visiting nurse, aide, social worker, and chaplain on a rotating schedule. Comfort care decisions are reversible — patients can leave and re-enter hospice as goals change. Free of charge — no eligibility paperwork required to call or browse.
