Hello friends of Angels for Hospice,

We hope this letter finds you in good health and good spirits! We are happy to report that through education, support and financial assistance, we continue our commitment to enhancing the quality of end-of-life care for those in need of hospice services in the greater Chicago area. Thank you for your ongoing generosity.


Our popular programs continue. Mom’s Meals provide the nourishment that is sometimes overlooked during difficult times.
Personalized Memory Bears are presented as keepsakes for grieving families.
Reflexology & Message Therapy provides physical and emotional comfort when patients need it most.
And we continue to invest in our staff through education, ensuring they are the most qualified and compassionate caregivers around.


We are also pleased to share that in a recent Family Caregiver Survey, Angels Grace Hospice overwhelmingly scored above state and national averages. Take a look at these impressive ratings!

We couldn’t be prouder, and we couldn’t achieve these successes without the support of friends like you. Last year your donations contributed to $25,000 raised. We hope you’re willing to help again this year, and we will match all generous donations.

At Angels for Hospice, our goal is to continue providing the quality, compassionate and personalized care our families truly need. We appreciate your friendship and support.


Jim

In part nine of our hospice criteria series, we cover end-stage malnutrition.

Hospice care from Angels Grace Hospice & Palliative Care in Illinois is essential for individuals suffering from severe malnutrition, particularly when it is associated with terminal illnesses or progressive conditions that make eating and nutrient absorption difficult.

Malnutrition in end-stage patients can result from various conditions such as cancer, advanced neurological disorders, or gastrointestinal diseases, leading to extreme weakness, organ failure, and a decline in overall health.

Hospice professionals provide specialized care to manage symptoms such as fatigue, dehydration, and difficulty swallowing, ensuring that patients receive the necessary comfort and support without invasive treatments that may no longer be effective.

Beth’s Wonderful Firefly Story for Anna

Beth has been working at Angels Grace Hospice & Palliative Care for about a year and would like to share an experience she had with one of the patients.
She met Anna early in the wintertime. As she got to know Beth, Anna started opening up with conversations about life.
As the seasons started to change, she contemplated summer coming. Growing up in Springfield, Illinois, she worked hard canning beans, and she would steal one of the canning jars to catch fireflies with her sister. Anna would then watch the fireflies until she fell asleep, but feeling bad about keeping them in a jar for a long period, she would release them.

Hospice care from Angels Grace Hospice & Palliative Care in Illinois is essential for individuals with end-stage liver disease because it provides specialized comfort care focused on managing symptoms and improving quality of life.

As liver disease progresses to its final stages, patients often experience severe complications such as jaundice, ascites (fluid buildup in the abdomen), muscle wasting, severe fatigue, and confusion due to hepatic encephalopathy. These symptoms can be distressing and difficult to manage at home without professional support.
