Berkeley families watch medical bills accumulate during terminal illness—emergency room visits costing thousands, hospital stays draining savings, ambulance rides adding up fast—while wondering if hospice care will make financial devastation even worse. LifeChoice Hospice & Palliative Care stops this financial hemorrhaging for Cook County residents by providing comprehensive services that Medicare and most insurance fully cover, including medications, equipment, and nursing that would otherwise cost families tens of thousands of dollars. Since 2012, we've saved thousands of households from bankruptcy by enrolling them in hospice benefits already paid for but not being used.
Berkeley families protect their finances through these fully covered hospice services:


Berkeley families discover hospice enrollment stops the devastating medical bills they'd been receiving monthly. Client data reveals 98 families out of every 100 appreciate the financial relief alongside medical support, contributing to average satisfaction ratings of 4.9 stars. Regulatory approval from ACHC confirms our accreditation standards, Medicare certification validates our compliance, while independent assessments rate our quality at 80 compared to standard industry scores of 67.
Throughout 15 years serving Illinois households, we've watched families destroy their financial security paying for emergency care when comprehensive hospice benefits sat unused. Call our team at 847-777-8888 any time—our staff answers continuously because financial questions don't follow office hours. We're dedicated to helping Berkeley residents understand that hospice doesn't add expenses but eliminates them—stopping the cycle of costly emergency visits, expensive hospital admissions, and ambulance bills that accomplish little medically while bankrupting families financially. The hospice benefit you've already paid for through Medicare or insurance premiums covers services costing tens of thousands if purchased independently, and our purpose involves ensuring Berkeley families access these benefits before medical bills destroy the financial security they'll need after losing their loved one.
