How Hospice Care Works in Westmont

Hospice care focuses on comfort rather than cure. When treatments are no longer working or a patient chooses to stop aggressive medical intervention, hospice provides symptom relief and quality of life improvements.

Our Westmont Hospice Team

A registered nurse coordinates all care and visits regularly to assess pain levels, medication needs, and overall comfort. Home health aides help with bathing, dressing, and personal care. Social workers address family concerns, financial questions, and emotional needs.

Chaplains offer spiritual support to patients and families of all faiths or no faith tradition. Our bereavement counselors provide grief support during and after the end-of-life journey. Trained volunteers assist with companionship, errands, and respite for exhausted caregivers.

Services Included in Westmont Hospice Care

  • Medical equipment delivery (hospital beds, oxygen, wheelchairs)
  • All medications related to the terminal diagnosis
  • Nursing visits tailored to patient needs
  • 24/7 phone access to on-call nurses
  • Pain and symptom management
  • Music therapy and massage therapy
  • Social work support and care coordination
  • Spiritual counseling and emotional support
  • Grief counseling for families

Where We Provide Care

Suncrest hospice serves patients throughout DuPage County and western Chicago suburbs. We care for patients in private homes, senior apartments, assisted living facilities, memory care units, and skilled nursing facilities across Westmont, Downers Grove, Hinsdale, Naperville, and surrounding communities.

Our Westmont office responds quickly to new referrals. Most families receive their first hospice visit within 24 hours of calling. Medicare and most private insurance plans cover all hospice services at no cost to families.

When to Consider Hospice Care

Doctors recommend hospice when someone has a life expectancy of six months or less if the illness follows its natural course. Common conditions include advanced cancer, heart failure, COPD, dementia, kidney failure, and stroke.

Families in Westmont often wait too long to start hospice care. Earlier enrollment means more time to benefit from pain management, emotional support, and care coordination. Patients can receive hospice care for longer than six months if their condition qualifies for continued service.

Understanding Westmont & DuPage County’s Unique Hospice Care Needs

Providing hospice care in DuPage County and the western suburbs comes with distinct considerations that shape how we serve families:

Suburban Chicago’s Bedroom Community

Westmont and surrounding DuPage County communities developed as commuter suburbs along the Burlington Railroad line in the 1800s. Residents traditionally worked in Chicago but built family lives in these quieter western communities. Many seniors spent entire careers commuting to downtown Chicago and now retire in the same homes where they raised families.

Strong Catholic and Christian Traditions

DuPage County, particularly Westmont, Wheaton, and surrounding areas, has deep Catholic and evangelical Christian roots. The Diocese of Joliet serves many families, and Wheaton is home to Wheaton College and numerous Christian institutions. Our chaplains work alongside priests, pastors, and faith communities to honor these traditions around end-of-life, prayer, sacraments, and spiritual comfort.

Immigrant and Multicultural Families

Nearly one quarter of Westmont residents are foreign-born, with significant Polish, Indian, Filipino, Mexican, and other immigrant communities. DuPage County overall is 20% foreign-born. Many families maintain cultural traditions around multi-generational caregiving, family decision-making, and preferences for home-based end-of-life care.

Middle-Class to Affluent Families

DuPage County is Illinois’ second-wealthiest county, with communities ranging from middle-class Westmont to affluent Hinsdale and Oak Brook. Medicare-covered hospice care ensures everyone receives quality end-of-life services regardless of income level, while private insurance options accommodate families seeking additional services.

Access to World-Class Healthcare

Western suburb families have access to nationally ranked medical centers including Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital, Edward-Elmhurst Health, and Adventist Health. Our team coordinates closely with these institutions to transition patients from hospital to home-based hospice care.

Metra Commuter Families

Westmont’s Metra station on the BNSF Line connects the western suburbs to Chicago. Many adult children still commute downtown for work while caring for aging parents in DuPage County. Home-based hospice provides essential support for families balancing demanding Chicago careers with caregiving responsibilities.

Prairie Heritage and Suburban Sprawl

DuPage County’s vast tallgrass prairies were converted to suburban development in the mid-1900s. Many seniors remember when these communities were smaller and more agricultural. They have deep connections to their neighborhoods, churches, and longtime friends, making home-based hospice particularly meaningful for those who want to remain in familiar surroundings.

Educated, Engaged Families

DuPage County is highly educated, with 49.3% of adults holding bachelor’s degrees in Westmont. Families ask informed questions about care options, medication management, and prognosis. Our team welcomes questions and works collaboratively with families who want to understand every aspect of care.

Corporate Headquarters Concentration

DuPage County hosts headquarters for major corporations like McDonald’s, Ace Hardware, and others. Many seniors spent careers with these companies and have strong retirement benefits, while adult children juggle executive roles or demanding corporate careers while coordinating parent care.

Serving Westmont & DuPage County’s Growing Senior Population

Westmont sits at the heart of DuPage County, which has a significant and growing senior population requiring quality hospice services:

  • 5,202 seniors in Westmont: 21.4% of Westmont’s 24,308 residents are age 65 and older, higher than the national average of 16.84%
  • 156,135 seniors in DuPage County: The county’s senior population represents 16.84% of its 937,142 residents
  • Median age 42.5 years: Westmont has a mature population with many residents entering retirement years
  • Established homeownership: 54.9% of Westmont residents and 73.1% of DuPage County residents own their homes, and many prefer to age in place with hospice support
  • Median household income: Westmont families earn $83,622 median income, while DuPage County’s median is $110,502, ensuring broad access to comprehensive hospice services through Medicare and private insurance
  • Diverse community: Westmont is 66.2% White, 13.2% Asian, 6.6% Black, and 14.4% Hispanic, with 24% foreign-born residents bringing rich cultural traditions around end-of-life care
  • Mature neighborhoods: Most Westmont homes were built in the 1970s, and original homeowners are now reaching senior age

Our Westmont team understands DuPage County families. Many have lived in these western suburbs for decades and want to remain home during their final journey. We make that possible with skilled, compassionate hospice care.
