Countryside families who wait too long to start hospice often express the same regret—wishing they'd enrolled sooner when loved ones could still enjoy improved comfort and meaningful interactions. LifeChoice Hospice & Palliative Care helps Cook County residents avoid this common remorse by encouraging earlier enrollment when patients can still benefit fully from symptom relief. Since 2012, we've seen thousands of families discover that starting hospice months earlier creates opportunities for connection, closure, and comfortable time together that late enrollment makes impossible. Our goal is helping Countryside households create final chapters they'll remember with peace rather than guilt.
