Woodridge families constantly apologize for needing help, treating every hospice request like an unreasonable burden rather than appropriate use of enrolled services. They hesitate calling nurses with legitimate questions, feel guilty requesting personal care assistance, and minimize symptoms avoiding bothering staff they view as doing favors instead of providing medical services families have every right accessing. This excessive apologizing prevents families from utilizing the support they enrolled specifically to receive. LifeChoice Hospice & Palliative Care helps DuPage County and Will County residents recognize that using hospice services isn't imposing. Since 2012, we've supported thousands of over-apologetic households learning that accessing enrolled care represents appropriate service use not burdensome imposition.
