Organization: JourneyCare Inc
Mission: Enriching lives through expert and compassionate care.
Activities: Hospice care -- Hospice is specialized care for individuals facing serious and life-limiting illness with a certified prognosis of six months or less. A team of nursing professionals, social workers, chaplains and volunteers support the needs of patients and families -- whether alleviating pain and symptoms, assisting with personal care or providing medications, equipment and supplies. Hospice care is provided wherever the patient calls home, whether it is a house, senior living residence, or nursing home.
Hospice CareCenters -- JourneyCare has five in-patient Hospice CareCenters in Arlington Heights, Barrington, Chicago, Glenview, and Woodstock in Illinois. The CareCenters are designed for those whose pain and other symptoms require short-term, around the clock medical oversight. Staffed by a team of highly skilled physicians, nurses, certified nursing assistants, social workers, chaplains and volunteers, each CareCenter is designed to look and feel like a home; family and friends and even pets are encouraged to visit anytime.
Specialized Care for Children -- JourneyCare's All About Kids program provides specialized care and support for infants, children, and families facing serious or life-limiting illness or loss. JourneyCare's team of nursing professionals, social workers and chaplains are trained in pediatrics, as well as palliative and supportive care. The organization's child life therapists help young patients and their families deal with fears, while providing effective coping strategies and emotional support.
