Northern Illinois Hospice

Northern Illinois Hospice We were the first hospice provider in our region and one of the first 50 hospices in the nation. While all hospices in the U.S. The answer is yes.

are mandated by the federal government to provide certain services to terminally ill individuals, not all hospices are the same. We were one of the first hospices in the United States, and since 1979, thousands of families have turned to us for quality end of life care. We often hear from area physicians and nursing facilities we provide hospice care the way it should be done. What matters most to all families is whether we will take care of their loved ones in the best way possible. That is our commitment to you.

They have the biggest hearts for hospice! Today is Random Acts of Kindness Day, and we can’t think of a better way to celebrate than by shining a light on our incredible Hospice Hearts volunteers.

This special group at Northern Illinois Hospice started with just five people back in 2022 and has grown to 15 caring individuals who meet each month at our Rockford office. From custom birthday bags filled with comfort items and personal touches, to handmade shawls, afghans, quilts, and seasonal items, they pour love into every detail.

Hospice Hearts reminds us that the smallest, handmade and thoughtful gestures can bring the biggest joy.

Every stitch is a memory. Every seem is a connection.

We love doing our Memorial Pillow Workshops and partnering with our friends at the DeKalb Public Library to create huggable reminders of loved ones. Thank you to all the sewers and everyone who lent helping hands to make it a special day! We’re amazed at all these beautiful, heartfelt creations.
