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

Markham families prevent dying patients from resting peacefully by constantly attempting to keep them engaged, stimulated, and busy when patients simply need quiet restful presence. They force conversations when patients want silence, play loud television keeping them awake, and schedule endless visitor parades preventing the peaceful rest terminal illness requires. This well-intentioned overstimulation exhausts patients who need permission to rest quietly without constant entertainment demands. LifeChoice Hospice & Palliative Care helps Cook County residents recognize that allowing peaceful rest demonstrates love more than constant stimulation. Since 2012, we've supported thousands of activity-focused households learning that dying patients need peaceful presence not entertainment.

  • Social workers facilitating permission helping Markham families recognize that peaceful rest serves patients better than constant stimulation
