About the Organization

The largest provider of supportive, palliative and hospice care in Illinois, JourneyCare, part of the Addus Homecare Family of Companies, serves nearly 2,300 patients and their families each day with an unmatched depth and breadth of expertise, experience and services, providing exceptional care for each person, and support for those who love them, at every stage of the journey. JourneyCare helps people facing serious illness live life to the fullest, with dignity and without pain, on their own terms. We care for the whole person - body, mind and spirit - not just the disease, and work together with the patient, family and other care partners to create a customized care plan that supports and respects their goals, preferences and choices. Care is provided wherever the patient calls home...a private residence, senior living community, a long-term care facility or hospital. If pain and symptoms become too difficult to manage at home, around-the-clock care can be provided in one of our inpatient hospice care centers.
