Setting up hospice care follows a clear, manageable path:
Niles families trust LifeChoice because quality matters when time is limited. Rather than generic protocols, we deliver individualized attention that recognizes each patient's humanity, respects their life experiences, and supports everyone affected by the illness. After losing his grandfather to impersonal hospice care in 2011, founder Alex Roshko built an agency centered on warmth and connection—principles that continue guiding our work today.
Our credentials include Accreditation Commission for Health Care accreditation and Medicare certification, confirming we uphold demanding industry standards. The quality of our work shows in measurable outcomes: a Hospice Analytics score of 80 compared to the national average of 67, plus 98% of families expressing satisfaction with our services. These numbers reflect real experiences—families finding relief, patients maintaining dignity, and caregivers receiving the help they desperately need. Our staff brings physicians, nurses, social workers, chaplains, and volunteers together in true teamwork. Military veterans receive recognition through our We Honor Veterans partnership, while bereavement services continue supporting families up to 13 months following their loss.

Hospice care is typically recommended for individuals with a life-limiting illness and a prognosis of six months or less, should the illness run its normal course. If your loved one is experiencing frequent hospitalizations, weight loss, declining function, or increasing need for care, they may qualify. LifeChoice offers free consultations throughout Chicago and the Chicagoland area to help determine eligibility.

LifeChoice Hospice makes it easy to verify your loved one’s insurance coverage. We work with Medicare, Medicaid, VA benefits, and most private insurance providers. Families in Chicago and surrounding communities can contact our team for a fast and confidential eligibility check.
