What is a Hospice Home?
Designed to be the ideal home away from home, a Hospice Home provides patients and families the opportunity to expand their relationship and provide optimum medical attention in warm, comfortable surroundings with around-the-clock care. A hospice home is a place to live and accept life's end in peace, with comfort and dignity.
How to Donate
Your generous donation can support the OSF Richard L. Owens Hospice Home. This facility will help terminally-ill patients receive 24-hour comfort care in a home-like setting, allowing quality time for family and friends.
The OSF Richard L. Owens Hospice Home will be located near the OSF Center for Health on Route 91 in Peoria. It will be the first Hospice Home in Central Illinois and only the fourth such facility in the State of Illinois. The facility is currently in the building stages and is expected to open in Spring 2013.
The Owens Family
In August 2010, OSF Home Care Services received a $2 million dollar donation from Peoria resident Hootie Owens for its proposed Peoria-based OSF Hospice Home.
Mrs. Owens made this gift in honor of her late husband, Richard L. Owens, a former hospice patient.
OSF held an honor ceremony in September 2010 where they unveiled the new facility name – the OSF Richard L. Owens Hospice Home.
