Serenity Hospice & Home

Community Guide 2015 Believing in the dignity of life, Serenity Hospice and Home offers care to the terminally ill and their families.

This encompasses physical, spiritual and emotional needs of the family unit with emphasis on the desires of the patient and family.

Serenity Hospice and Home believes that living continues until the moment of death and our focus is on promoting optimal living through this final journey of life. From the Director With over 30 years of service to Ogle County and surrounding communities, Serenity Hospice and Home (SH&H) continues to prosper and provide unparalleled Serenity Hospice hospice services to those in need. Ending 2013, with an average daily census (the number & Home Boards of patients served each day) of 45.5 in the community and 2.5 in the Serenity Home, the organization continued a slow upward climb in 2014, ending the year with an average daily census of 55.1 in the community and 3.4 in the Serenity Home. The hallmark of the SH&H year was the completion of the mortgage on the Serenity Home at the end of August. Board Members

Increased growth necessitated additional resources in the form of an assistant for Karen Sikorski our bereavement coordinator and an additional volunteer coordinator to help the President organization meet expanding needs. In addition to more mailings and increased Kevin Glendenning participation in our support groups, we assumed a new group, Healing Hearts, for support Vice President of parents and siblings mourning the loss of a child. Healing Hearts is facilitated by both our bereavement coordinator and one of our long term volunteers, Dana Cox, who herself Angie Good Treasurer has suffered the loss of a child and benefited from Serenity Hospice and Home’s bereavement services. In addition to helping with the Healing Hearts support group, Dana Suzanne Ravlin also blogs on our Serenity Home Facebook page about her challenges since the loss of her Secretary son, Trevor. Dana’s insight and gift of words has helped thousands going through the Kathleen Isley various stages of grief. Shannon Lizer To strengthen our “We Honor Veterans” program, volunteer Chaplain, Dave Jeff McLindsay Rogula, and our social worker, Dawn Vander Kolk, started a pinning ceremony for our Patricia Nordman Veteran patients. This is a very heartfelt ceremony and has been well received by our Veteran patients and their family members. Families of deceased veterans who have been Ryan Zank served by SH&H are offered a memorial brick in our memorial gardens and a special ceremony honoring our deceased Veteran patients is being planned for our spring butterfly release. Engraving of these bricks is made possible by a generous private donation from an individual who was touched by this new Veteran program. Foundation Board Members Always on the search for new revenue opportunities to support SH&H services, research was completed to find ways to increase revenues from Angel Treasures Resale Eric Morrow Shop. As donations continued to grow in our Mt. Morris location, it became apparent President there was opportunity to sell more items using other venues. An online store was set up on Cathy Manning eBay, and items of higher value are sold through the eBay store. Donated cookbooks, Vice President crafts, and quilting items are sold at Stitches in Time, located on the corner of Washington Dan Leonard and 3rd Street, where they are more marketable. Lastly, a partnership was created with the Treasurer Village of Progress (VOP) for the baling of nonsalable clothing, shoes, belts, and purses. The VOP partnership provides work for their consumers, revenue for both organizations, Kathryn M. Feste keeps the items out of our landfills, and provides clothing for individuals in third world Secretary countries. Since the opening of the operation two other area resale shops are also donating Lisa Coffman their unsalable items to our baling operation. Jerry Daws With Medicaid reimbursement delays again lengthening, continuation of the 2% Lynn Knodle reduction in reimbursements due to sequestration, new regulations such as capturing and Bill Ravnaas transferring additional data to the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid (CMS), and a newly mandated vendor contract for the distribution and capture of the new Consumer Gary Rhodes Assessment of Healthcare Services Provider Systems (CAHPS) survey, SH&H must look Joyce Rueff for ways to provide services with less, while maintaining the best quality in hospice care. Karen Sikorski We continue to be efficient in our processes, mindful of our mission, and innovative in seeking new revenue streams through grants, fundraising, and new programs.

Bereavement Coordinator/Grief Companion, Cathy Warren, recently completed the 150 hours of training needed to receive her Death and Grief Studies Certificate from the internationally recognized Center for Loss and Life Transition in Fort Collins, Colorado. Course study included five separate training events, Comprehensive Bereavement Skills Training, Companioning the Mourner from Theory to Practice, Counseling Skills Fundamentals, Exploring the Spiritual Dimensions of Death, Grief, & Mourning, and Exploring the Depression of Grief. The courses were taught by Alan D. Wolfelt, Ph.D., noted author, educator, and grief counselor. The Center for Loss and Life Transition, founded by Dr. Wolfelt in 1983, is a private organization dedicated to furthering the understanding of grief.

Local Author Tom Zuba, to speak at All Saints Lutheran Church in Byron and the Post House Ballroom in Dixon For 20+ years, Tom Zuba has been learning to live his life with grief and mourning. Losing his 18-month old daughter suddenly in 1990, his wife suddenly in 1999, and his 13 year-old son after a 3-month illness in 2005, Tom has endured a tremendous amount of loss. In the beginning, Tom did grief the old way -- repressing, denying, pretending, numbing and stuffing every feeling and every emotion that arose. He created pain on top of pain, until he began searching for a new way to do grief. Once he gave himself permission to mourn, healing began. Along the way, Tom discovered that: * Grief is not the enemy. Grief can be one of our greatest teachers. * It's the stories we tell that determine whether or not we will heal. * We will always have a relationship with the people we love who have died. * We were not born to suffer. We were born to be radiant. There is a new way to do grief. Tom states, “The death of someone we love cracks us open, inviting us to become the person we were born to be.” In his book, Permission to Mourn: A New Way to do Grief, Tom writes about what he has learned along his journey. This is the book Tom wishes he had read after his daughter Erin died. And after his wife Trici died. It's the book he wishes he'd been handed following his son Rory's death. But Tom had to live it first, before he could write it. If you are struggling with grief, we invite you to come and let Tom share with you what he has learned. Co-sponsored by Serenity Hospice and Home, All Saints Lutheran Church, and the Lee County Council on Aging, the first event will be held at All Saints Lutheran Church, 624 Luther Drive, Byron, IL, on Thursday, April 16h at 7:00 p.m. The second event will be held at the Post House Ballroom, 100 W. 2nd St, Dixon, IL, on Thursday, May 14th, at 7:00 p.m. Tom will be selling his new book at both of these events and donating a portion of the proceeds to Serenity Hospice and Home. For more information, call our office at 815-732-2499.
