Tinley Park’s Trusted Hospice Care

Three Oaks Hospice delivers compassionate end-of-life care to patients in the Chicago area. Hospice care focuses on symptom management and quality of life for individuals with a life-limiting illness.

During hospice care, a skilled team of nurses, therapists, caregivers, social workers, clergy, and volunteers works together to bring peace and comfort to patients facing the end of life. Pain management, chaplain services, counseling, and medical equipment management are all part of hospice care.

South Chicago Hospice Care | Tinley Park

A hospice care team is made up of various people, all dedicated to maintaining a patient’s quality of life and keeping them comfortable during the final days, weeks or months of their lives. Three Oaks Hospice works with the primary care physician to coordinate care. Here are some typical members of a hospice care team.

Hospice Nurses in Tinley Park

Hospice nurses monitor, assess and handle everyday medical needs, from making sure the patient takes prescribed pain medication to set up medical equipment and taking daily temperature or blood pressure readings. These nurses also help loved ones understand how to better care for the hospice patient.

Hospice Volunteers in Tinley Park

Volunteer workers help families and hospice care staff to provide extra companionship and emotional support for terminal patients in hospice. They may include those who specialize in music or art therapy as well as friendly, compassionate visitors who stop in to play a game of cards or read a book to the patient.

Bereavement Counselors in Tinley Park

Bereavement counselors meet with family members after the hospice patient’s death to help them through the grief process. Bereavement services are available up to 13 months after the patient’s passing.

Hospice Aides in Tinley Park

Hospice aides help with bathing, grooming, dressing and other day-to-day personal needs while providing companionship to hospice patients.

Tinley Park Social Workers

The social workers on your hospice care team can help access local programs and fill out paperwork involving financial, legal or practical concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some frequently asked questions about our hospice care in Tinley Park.

Yes. Our Chicago South office is located in Tinley Park and serves families throughout the south and southwest suburbs, including Tinley Park, Orland Park, Mokena, Frankfort, Oak Forest, Palos Heights, Homer Glen, Country Club Hills, Matteson, and surrounding communities in southern Cook and Will counties. Call us at 708-406-5750 to confirm we serve your area.

Our Chicago South team travels to patients wherever they live across southern Cook and Will counties: a house in Orland Park or Mokena, an adult child’s home in Frankfort, or a nursing or assisted living community in Oak Forest or Palos Heights. The Tinley Park office on Thompson Court is the home base for our nurses, aides, social workers, and chaplains, and we don’t operate an inpatient unit, so care comes to your loved one instead of the other way around.

It’s often earlier than families expect. Signs that it may be time include repeated trips to the hospital or ER, steady weight loss, spending most of the day in a bed or chair, or a doctor saying further treatment is unlikely to help. Calling doesn’t commit you to anything. Our Tinley Park team can answer questions, talk with your loved one’s doctor, and help you decide whether hospice makes sense now or later.

Yes. Hospice follows the patient, not the address. If your mother starts hospice at home in Homer Glen and later moves into a nursing home in Matteson, or moves in with you in Country Club Hills, the same Three Oaks team keeps caring for her as long as she’s within our service area. Let us know about a move as early as you can, and we’ll coordinate the transition with the new facility or household.

For most families, very little. Medicare Part A covers hospice care, including visits from the care team, medications related to the hospice diagnosis, and equipment such as a hospital bed or oxygen, with at most a small copay for some prescriptions. Illinois Medicaid and most private insurance plans also cover hospice. The main cost Medicare doesn’t cover is room and board if your loved one lives in a nursing home, which Medicaid may help with. Call 708-406-5750 and we’ll go over your loved one’s coverage.
