Matteson families watch quality of life deteriorate while waiting for perfect timing to start hospice that never arrives. They tell themselves they'll enroll once symptoms become unbearable, yet keep pushing through worse conditions hoping things might improve. Meanwhile patients suffer unnecessarily during weeks or months when proper symptom management could have provided comfort. LifeChoice Hospice & Palliative Care helps Cook County residents recognize that waiting for ideal timing wastes valuable comfortable time together. Since 2012, we've encouraged thousands of households to enroll when hospice can actually improve current quality rather than waiting until nothing can help anymore.
Matteson families maximize comfort through these properly timed hospice services:


Matteson families who enrolled earlier consistently express gratitude for additional comfortable time they gained versus those who waited too long. Client satisfaction reaches 98 families out of every 100 who learned that sooner creates better outcomes. Ratings from actual households average 4.9 stars from families who acted promptly rather than waiting for nonexistent perfect timing. Our credentials include ACHC accreditation and Medicare certification, while performance assessments place us at 80 points versus the benchmark of 67.
Supporting Illinois families for over 15 years taught us that waiting for ideal hospice timing steals weeks or months when proper care could have provided comfort. Our staff answers at 847-777-8888 continuously because Matteson residents need immediate encouragement to act now rather than waiting longer. We help families recognize that perfect timing never arrives, that earlier enrollment provides more quality time not less, and that weeks spent suffering while delaying hospice represent lost opportunities for comfort and connection that can never be recovered once families finally decide conditions have become bad enough.
