My mom past almost 6 years to the day and I still think about all of them with warmth in my heart. The attention my mom got was top notch. They titrated meds so mom didn't have pain but still was able to function almost to the end. When one medication stop working tegu switched it to another by admitting her into hospice facility. I will never forget nurses there and how compassionate and understanding they were. The violinist came and played music in my moms room and that was just so wonderful. After switching meds she was able to function and enjoy pain free days and our company longer. The person who was coming to bathe her hugged and kissed her as if it was her own mother,per my mom's admission. Humanity of staff and compassionate care she had was unmatched . I heard this company was bought by another company, I surely hope that they would continue their wonderful care of terminally I'll patients as they did when my mom was transitioning. P.S. if you think that all hospices like this don't be mistaken: first hospice we got into, I would not name it, almost killed my mom by overdosing her on morphine in the first week , while I was at work. Thank God I came on time to find her almost unconscious. The nurse gave her huge dose of it and quickly left, leaving her to deal with it. That what prompted me to switched to Seasons and it was the best decision I ever made!

My mom fought pancreatic cancer for just days short of a year. She left the hospital to come home to hospice. We didn't know what to expect but they far exceeded any expectations we had. Every single person we interacted with was knowledgeable, professional and above all compassionate. I don't know how they do what they do. They became a part of our family. This all happened in the midst of the corona virus quarantine and they balanced protecting themselves and us yet still giving all the care needed and never making us feel like we were a burden. Our main nurse was Tami and the CNA was Iris. They both took amazing care of her and trained us to do what was needed when they were not with us. My mom instantly bonded with both. They were gentle and caring. I don't know what else I can say but we made the right choice with Seasons Hospice. I didn't see any reviews at the time I was looking and I hope this helps someone who might be on the fence.

A Hospice Experience That Left Me Traumatized…read more I would not recommend Rainbow Hospice, specifically their in-unit hospice located at Resurrection Medical Center, based on my experience during my mother's final hours. My mother passed away early in the morning on January 25, 2026, while under their in-unit hospice care at Resurrection Medical Center. When my mother entered the active stage of dying, the hospice staff did not explain what was happening or prepare me for what I was witnessing. Despite clear signs that my mother was actively dying, the nurse refused to confirm this and did not advise me to call family, which is a critical responsibility in hospice care. After my mother was given morphine and Ativan, she began coughing heavily, moaning loudly, and tearing up. I repeatedly went to get help. An older male nurse named Ray, who was working in the in-unit hospice at Resurrection Medical Center, responded in a way that felt dismissive and uncaring. Instead of explaining that these were end-of-life signs or offering reassurance, he handed me a book about dying. When I returned again concerned about my mother's loud moaning and coughing, he told me that if it was bothering me, I could go sit in another room. At no point did he explain that my mother was likely in her final moments or that death was near. When my mother had thick mucus coming out of her mouth, I had to ask whether I was allowed to wipe it away. Even then, no one explained that this was a normal part of the dying process. I was left without guidance, reassurance, or emotional support during one of the most painful moments of my life. Another hospice organization later explained that families are typically clearly informed when a loved one is nearing the end, especially in an in-unit hospice setting, so they can prepare emotionally and decide whether to call family. That did not happen with Rainbow Hospice, and I deeply regret choosing them. Hospice care -- especially in-unit hospice care within a hospital -- should provide clear communication, compassion, guidance, and emotional support. Unfortunately, Rainbow Hospice failed to provide that for my family. Do not take your loved one here if you expect honest communication, emotional support, or clear guidance during the dying process.i am traumatize .

JourneyCare was the right choice for my husband's hospice care. The hospital recommended a…read moredifferent company but after much research and several recommendations from close friends/nurses I decided to go with them and I'm really glad I did. I'm truly grateful for the wonderful CNAs, social worker, bearevement therapist, and their whole team. My husband chose home care so I wasn't sure they were the right fit since we're located in Chicago and some of reviews for the city area were not great but went with my gut on this and they've exceeded my expectations. I believe our team was out of the Deerfield office. My husband was in his 50s, had a strong will to live despite battling stage IV cancer for 9 yrs, and a dark sense of humor. It wasn't an easy transition but the whole team worked with us both to address all of our concerns and helped him find comfort and peace. Every time I called the on-call nurse/manager they were able to help out and come up with solutions tailored to his needs. Communication was key here since my husband was reluctant to taking pain meds and anything of the sort. We didn't get to use their facilities so I don't have that experience as others have mentioned but the home hospice care was just what we both needed. I just felt very well supported throughout the entire process and was consistently kept informed.

In August 2024, we received hospice care from JourneyCare during the final weeks of my wife's…read morecancer journey - first at their inpatient facility on the Rush Hospital campus for 5 days, and then at home for 2 weeks. Overall, we found her direct care team (RNs and CNAs) to be fantastic - compassionate, skilled, and present. At home care and support was excellent, The inpatient facilities, operations, and administration, however, fell well short of expectations. Specifically: 1. Handover from the Rush Hospital team to JourneyCare was handled extremely poorly. Our POA paperwork (which had been on file with the hospital for 5 years) was lost twice. A Christian minister (outside of our faith tradition) was sent to help us draft end-of-life wishes after the second loss despite our having taking significant care to prepare these documents with our lawyers. This failure of the basics created significant unneeded stress. 2. The inpatient facilities are an embarrassment - located in old office spaces far away from the primary hospital patient buildings, our room reeked of old cigar smoke, the bathroom was moldy and shower facilities unusable, and the much of the space was being used to store stacks of old furniture. There are no nearby amenities, and the door to the building is locked with no attendant during most hours of the day - making it extremely difficult to go out for food and coffee when staying with loved ones. 3. The attending physician and supervisor team persistently made decisions about our care based upon what is covered by Medicaid and assumptions about willingness to pay -- despite us having to assert repeatedly that these were not constraints. At one point I actually showed the physician the receipt for the $5 copay for a pain management drug that we knew worked well for my wife but that she insisted over and over again wouldn't be covered and had to be convinced to prescribe. 4. While the majority of the care team was excellent, there were notable exceptions. My wife had large, extremely painful lesions in her legs. Despite telling a team that had come to bathe her, they grabbed her leg forcefully to turn her over in bed - resulting in her crying out in extreme pain. On another occasion, we were quietly playing music on her phone next to the bed to try to calm her anxiety. A nurse tech came in and said "if we're going to have a party let's turn it up!", grabbed her phone, and started blasting music next to my dying wife. 5. The ambulance service that they contracted for her transport home was not informed that there were 8 steps to enter our house, and upon arrival at first refused to carry her in the stretcher (because of her leg lesions she couldn't be placed in a chair). Ultimately, one of the drivers agreed to lift her together with me and two friends - a group of middle aged women trying to haul 300+ pounds up a steep flight of stairs. Once we had her home and transitioned to the home care team, it was like night and day. Service and support was excellent and extremely well managed from beginning to end. Overall - JourneyCare needs a major reset of their inpatient facility and operations. I would have never agreed to it had I known how it would be -- and am astonished that Rush, a national cancer institute that is renowned for the quality of its patient care, would allow themselves to be affiliated and to leverage them as their go-to hospice provider.

Their whole demeanor and attitude is that of angels, compassion, empathy, love..When he was in the hospital, he was not receiving the proper pain management, they kept delaying the hospitals hospice program while my dad was dying in pain. I was desperate to get him home. Alena, the administrator, moved mountains to make that happen. They got my dad home in less than 18 hours, they were by my father's bedside within two hours of me calling desperate for help, which felt like a miracle during such a difficult time. Daniel, the nurse who came to the hospital, was so attentive and caring such a such a genuine person. And once we were home, nurse Julie and nurse Grace took over and truly went above and beyond. They made sure the bed oxygen tanks supplies and meds was delivered before my dad even got home.They made sure my dad was comfortable, out of pain, and surrounded by dignity and respect--something he was not receiving in the hospital. there was also a Sweet CNA that came to help as well, Because of them, my dad was able to pass peacefully at home, just as he deserved. That means everything to me my father and our family. All of my father's friends and loyal family were able to come visit with him before he passed the next morning.. I highly recommend this hospice agency to anyone going through end-of-life care for a loved one--or even for themselves. Don't wait until the last minute. Have this hospice team set up ahead of time--you will not regret it. They are truly angels doing God's work. Shannon Johnson-parson
