Opening Communication in Gurnee

Gurnee families find their voices through these communication-focused hospice services:

• Nurses facilitating medical honesty helping families discuss prognosis, symptoms, and progression truthfully rather than maintaining exhausting pretenses
• Personal care creating intimate moments during bathing and grooming when patients often share feelings they won't express during formal conversations
• Equipment discussions prompting reality when hospital beds and oxygen systems make denial impossible, opening doors to honest dialogue
• Social workers mediating family conversations helping resolve conflicts, express love, and address unfinished business before time runs out
• Chaplains asking important questions creating opportunities for legacy conversations, forgiveness discussions, and end-of-life wishes families avoid raising
• Veteran program conversations through our We Honor Veterans initiative helping military families discuss service experiences‍
• Grief counseling teaching communication preparing families for bereavement through support continuing up to 13 months
