Hospice Care

Hospice care helps patients with life-limiting illness live as comfortably as possible. We provide care in one’s own home, skilled nursing or assisted living facilities, a hospital room, or wherever the patient calls home. Our care team works to optimize one’s quality of life and enhance dignity, while also supporting caregivers and family members.

NorthShore proudly partners with Residential Hospice to provide hospice care. Learn more about Residential Hospice.
