LifeChoice provides hospice care at home or in a care facility across Cook, Lake, McHenry, and DuPage counties. We offer nursing care, comfort-focused support, and guidance for your family.



Choosing a hospice provider means knowing who will visit, what help is available, and how your family will stay informed. You may be following a doctor’s recommendation, comparing providers, or looking for more support at home.
LifeChoice can talk through the practical questions before you make a decision. Depending on eligibility and the care plan, support can include:

The first call helps us understand what your family needs. We’ll explain hospice care, answer practical questions, and discuss whether an evaluation may be appropriate.

Let us know where care is needed, what has changed, and any timing concerns. You can ask questions before making a decision.
We explain how eligibility is assessed, what information is needed, and how coverage and care needs are reviewed.
If hospice is appropriate and you choose LifeChoice, we explain planned visits, support at home, and what happens next.
No paperwork is needed to start the conversation. Please don’t include private medical details in the form.

Hospice is end-of-life care focused on comfort and quality of life. It can be provided at home, in assisted living, or in a nursing facility, based on the patient’s needs and care plan.
The hospice team works alongside family members or facility staff. Support can include nursing and aide visits, comfort-related medications, equipment, and caregiver guidance. We’ll explain what is included and what help may be needed between visits.



Care is easier to follow when you know how the team will support your loved one and what your family may need to arrange.
Every family’s situation is different. Your care plan should make the practical details easier to understand.
Once care begins, we’ll explain planned visits, each team member’s role, and how to reach the hospice team when something changes. We’ll also discuss the support family members or facility staff may need to provide between visits.




Hospice eligibility requires a medical assessment. For Medicare hospice coverage, doctors must certify a life expectancy of six months or less if the illness follows its usual course. Care may continue beyond six months when eligibility is recertified. We can explain the evaluation and the choice of comfort-focused care.

Routine hospice care does not mean a nurse or aide remains in the home 24 hours a day. Visits follow the care plan. More intensive support may be available during a short-term crisis when clinical requirements are met.

For eligible patients, Medicare Part A covers hospice care through a Medicare-approved provider. Coverage includes care related to the terminal illness and related conditions. Some copayments may apply, and routine room and board generally is not covered. We can help you understand the coverage questions relevant to your situation.

Yes. Hospice care can be provided in a private home, assisted living, or a nursing facility. We’ll discuss the location, care needs, and what help is needed between hospice visits.
