Hospice Care in Lombard, IL

St. Croix Hospice provided truly exceptional care for our mom/grandmother during one of the most emotional times in our lives. From the very beginning, their entire care team treated her—and all of us—with such compassion, dignity, and respect.

Every nurse, aide, and staff member went above and beyond to ensure she was comfortable and cared for. It was clear that this wasn’t just a job to them—they genuinely cared about her as a person, honoring her life, her personality, and her wishes. That meant everything to our family.

We want to give a special shout-out to Jake and Kristen, who made such a meaningful impact on our experience. Their kindness, attentiveness, and genuine compassion will never be forgotten. They brought comfort not only to our mom/grandmother, but to our entire family. Through this process, they became honorary members of the family and referred to her as “mama”.

The team also supported us in ways we didn’t even realize we needed—offering guidance, reassurance, and steady support every step of the way. Their presence brought a sense of peace and comfort that is hard to put into words.

We are forever grateful for the love and care they showed our mom/grandmother. St. Croix Hospice made an incredibly difficult time more bearable, and we will never forget the difference they made.

Words cannot express how grateful my family and I were that we were fortunate to have Jake and Renee visiting my Dad during the last stage of his life. Not only did Dad but Mom as well benefit from seeing Jake and Renee. They trusted them and loved them like family. We all did. Our family was learning and comforted through Dad's transition to heaven. I hope anyone reading this recommendation from us understands how special this team was for us during this time. God bless you both and St. Croix for your kind, tough, work with the families.

Jake from St. Croix Hospice provided truly exceptional care for my dad during the final six months of his life. From the very beginning, Jake brought a sense of calm, compassion, and professionalism that meant the world to our family during an incredibly difficult time.

He kept us consistently informed about what to expect and took the time to explain each stage of the process in a way that was clear and reassuring. Because of him, we never felt lost or overwhelmed — we felt supported.

Most importantly, Jake treated my dad with extraordinary kindness and gentleness. He showed genuine respect and warmth in every interaction, which helped my dad feel comfortable and cared for during his final days. That compassion extended to our entire family. Jake understood that hospice care is not just about the patient, but also about guiding loved ones through an emotional journey.

We are deeply grateful for the dignity, empathy, and steady guidance Jake provided. He made a profoundly difficult experience more peaceful and manageable, and our family will always remember the care he gave both my dad and all of us
