Thanks to support from the Hospice Foundation of Northeastern Illinois’ Woodstock Hospice Home Campaign for Comfort and Care, the inpatient unit has benefited from extensive renovations, creating a much more home-like environment for patients, families and staff.

Improvements include:

Patient Rooms:

• Ceiling fans and flat screen televisions in every room
• Upgraded window treatments to allow more natural light
• Pullout sofa beds so family members can comfortably stay overnight

Common Areas:

• A great room and kitchen for use by the patients’ families
• A fully equipped kitchen so patients can enjoy their favorite home-cooked meals with their loved ones
• A larger and more open nurses’ station, designed to encourage greater interaction among family members and staff
• A private kitchen/gathering area for staff members to enjoy a quiet meal, or take time to decompress

HPNI staff and volunteers will be on hand for guided tours and to answer questions. For more information, contact Michelle Sacchitello at 224-770-2415 or email rsvp@hospiceanswers.org.
