Rock River Hospice and Home is a wonderful place full of beautiful people that care for your loved one as much as you. From the minute I walked in they were very caring and compassionate. Not only did they take care of my mother in law, they truly cared for all of us there to spend our last moments with her.

Rock River Hospice & Home is an excellent choice for those looking for a close to perfect environment for their loved ones to spend life’s final moments in. When I first walked into the building, I was greeted by a very kind and soft spoken woman who was more than happy to point me in the right direction of where to go. I was pleasantly surprised at how beautiful & updated it was; it had a harmonious blend of modern & traditional decor with calming/relaxing paint colors on the walls. My grandma was provided with exceptional end-of-life care by the staff there and was able to leave this world, surrounded by her loved ones, in such a serene & tranquil setting. Thank you to Rock River Hospice & Home for the quality care that you provided my grandmother during her last days on earth. She deserved the very best care and I feel as though she was given exactly that at your facility.

I live in Texas so I never actually got to see Rock River Hospice & Home, but my family members raved about the care our mother received while there. During the last couple days of my mom's life, several of her grandchildren, as well as other family members visited her at RR Hospice & Home. They spoke of the beautiful room and how peaceful and quiet it was when they visited. I'm feel so blessed that she was there in the loving care of such dedicated medical staff. I highly recommend Rock River Hospice & Home. Kathy Freeman
