Founded in 1984, Serenity believes everyone deserves to experience dignity, respect, and comfort at the end of life. This belief has guided us through the years of service, as we have had the privilege to support countless patients and their families through one of life’s most challenging journeys.
Serenity is pleased to have an active and robust Board of Directors with a fiduciary responsibility to the hospice organization and the community. Board members represent all areas of our service area.
We are licensed by the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) to promote comprehensive hospice care and operate a hospice residence. We accept Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance.
