Hospice Services in Harvey, Illinois | LifeChoice Hospice & Palliative Care

Harvey families believe hospice enrollment means abandoning all joy, treating remaining time as purely tragic period where laughter feels inappropriate and celebration seems disrespectful. They cancel family gatherings thinking parties are wrong during terminal illness, suppress humor fearing it demonstrates insufficient seriousness, and eliminate all lighthearted moments believing hospice means only somber mourning until death. This joyless approach wastes precious opportunities for meaningful happy memories families desperately need creating together. LifeChoice Hospice & Palliative Care gives Cook County residents permission to maintain joy alongside appropriate sadness. Since 2012, we've supported thousands of households learning that hospice allows both grief and celebration during remaining weeks.

Balanced Hospice Support in Harvey

Harvey families preserve meaningful moments through these life-affirming hospice services:

  • Nursing supporting joyful experiences from registered nurses who encourage families creating happy memories rather than treating hospice as only somber waiting period
  • Personal care enabling celebrations providing bathing and grooming assistance so patients can participate in gatherings families wrongly canceled
  • Equipment supporting participation including wheelchairs and oxygen systems enabling patients to attend celebrations families thought inappropriate during hospice
  • Social workers facilitating meaningful activities helping Harvey families recognize that hospice allows both sadness and joy during remaining time
  • Chaplains blessing celebration offering spiritual guidance that enjoying remaining time honors life rather than disrespects dying
  • Veteran celebration programs through our We Honor Veterans initiative
  • Balanced grief support continuing counseling for up to 13 months
