Many Posen residents delay hospice enrollment because they believe it means giving up, hastening death, or losing hope. LifeChoice Hospice & Palliative Care has spent over 15 years correcting these misconceptions for Cook County families, demonstrating that hospice actually extends quality life and often prolongs survival compared to continued aggressive treatments. We provide medical services focused on living well rather than dying—managing symptoms so patients can enjoy meals with family, participate in activities they value, and remain alert enough for meaningful conversations. Our approach helps Posen households understand that choosing hospice means choosing comfort, clarity, and connection over exhausting treatments that may cause more harm than benefit during terminal illness.
Posen families access these comprehensive hospice programs through our services:


Posen families who initially hesitated to enroll often become our strongest advocates once they experience what hospice actually provides. Our 98% satisfaction rate and 4.9-star rating come largely from families who wish they'd started sooner after seeing improvements in their loved one's alertness, comfort, and quality of life. We hold ACHC accreditation and Medicare certification, and our quality score of 80 out of 100 demonstrates performance well above the 67-point national average.
Throughout more than 15 years, we've learned that education changes everything—once Posen families understand that hospice doesn't shorten life but often improves and extends it, their perspective shifts completely. Our team answers calls at 847-777-8888 every hour because we want families making informed decisions based on facts rather than fears. We're committed to helping Posen residents understand that hospice offers more medical support, not less—more nursing attention, more symptom management, more family education, and more consistent care than they'd receive continuing treatments that have stopped working.
