Mo Cara Hospice is here for when you and your loved one are ready for hospice.
One of the bravest acts of love is accepting that a family member is ready for hospice, and navigating your place on the path alongside them.


Mo Cara Hospice gives your loved one personalized care and comfort.
Based in Rockford, Mo Cara Hospice is the Community Health Accreditation Partner (CHAP) certified hospice serving Winnebago, McHenry, Boone, Kane, Ogle, DeKalb and Stephenson Counties , owned and operated by lifelong Rockford, Illinois, medical professionals.
Our name is Irish for “my friend,” because that’s the trusted role we develop with you and your family as we gently guide your loved one through life’s final needs.
Mo Cara Hospice offers a wide range of easily-scheduled services, provided in your home or loved one’s residential facility. These specialized services are principally paid through Medicare or similar existing coverage with no costs to burden the family.
Mo Cara’s healthcare roots run deep. Our sister organizations—Anam Memory Care and Satori Pathway—are well known for providing exceptional aging services over the past two decades. Reflecting our deep connections with families throughout the area, we are now offering the same commitment to excellence in our hospice care practice.
Beyond high standards: A higher calling
Being accredited by CHAP (Community Health Accreditation Partner) means that Mo Cara Hospice in Rockford meets the highest quality and compliance standards as recognized by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. It also means an added level of trust and peace of mind for the families we serve.

Mo Cara’s team answers to a higher calling of care: to use our gifts to uplift the entire hospice experience. We do so by blending time-honored medical principles with forward-thinking care practices. And yes, we really do become our families’ good friends, because we are personally invested in every life we touch.
