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!

Dear Jamie, It is hard to know where to start with writing words to thank you for the love and outstanding care you provided our mother. We are beyond grateful for all the time, effort, and nursing skills you tenderly provided over all the years.

Thank you for seeing her through to the end of her life. What a beautiful gift you provided for all. I will miss you and it goes without saying, I will miss my dear mother.

Dear Dr. LaPalio, It was so wonderful to see you and Mary at our mother’s memorial. You brought great comfort to us and it brought your mother’s presence as well!

She was loved and tenderly cared for by Sharmaine, Vickey, Jamie, and Carmen. Esi was also wonderful. They are fortunate to have you as their Medical Director.

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!

I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you to Angels Grace for the wonderful care you provided my father the last few weeks of his life.

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. I will forever be grateful to the team at Angels Grace for making the most difficult experience of my life bearable and most importantly, peaceful for my dad.

We can’t thank you enough for assistance for our mom.

We can’t thank you enough for assistance for our mom. Ronda was her ongoing hospice nurse and we felts so lucky to have her.  She was the perfect fit because they were both just wonderfully nice people, soft-spoken and gentle souls.  Ronda always spoke so kindly and gently to her that fit her personality to a “t”.  Ronda is an amazing nurse and person.  She called every week, with a report which was always wonderful to receive because it gave us the professional opinion of Anna’s condition that we were so glad to know.  Ronda was always so prompt in responding to our needs and questions, and returned by call almost before I could put my phone down!  Staff members also spoke so highly of her.  There were other nurses or CNAs along the way, but I am sorry, I am not sure of all their names, all very nice.  Also, Kaylee was her CNA and also very pleasant.

We will be forever thankful to Angels Grace.

When you came into mom’s life four months ago, we didn’t envision the magnitude of the care you would provide and what it would mean for her. A “thank you” doesn’t seem enough but were are so very appreciative, especially for Lisabeth and her extraordinary ability to provide compassionate and highly skilled care for mom as well as being a good listener in my times of need.  We also appreciate the spiritual guidance Kathy provided for mom and dad and reassurance for us all.  All the staff at Angels Grace was great, and the care you provided certainly took away some of our burden and let us focus on mom.  We will be forever thankful to Angels Grace.
