Barrington families expect hospice to provide luxury concierge-level service beyond what medical care actually entails, viewing it as a premium experience they're entitled to receive. They want nurses available instantly for non-urgent convenience requests, expect staff to accommodate elaborate preferences about timing and approach, and become frustrated when hospice focuses on medical needs rather than hospitality-style service. This misconception that hospice represents luxury care arrangement rather than medical support creates disappointment when reality doesn't match expectations. LifeChoice Hospice & Palliative Care helps Lake County and Cook County residents recognize that hospice provides excellent medical care not concierge services. Since 2012, we've worked with thousands of households learning that hospice excellence means clinical quality not luxury amenities.
