Elburn families delay hospice enrollment fearing it will hasten death rather than improve remaining life. They believe calling hospice means dying begins immediately, that stopping aggressive treatment somehow kills patients faster, or that accepting hospice care shortens survival compared to continued fighting. This dangerous misconception keeps families from accessing comfort care that often extends life while dramatically improving its quality. LifeChoice Hospice & Palliative Care corrects this myth for Kane County residents by showing that proper symptom management frequently prolongs survival compared to the stress and complications aggressive treatment creates. Since 2012, we've helped thousands of households discover that hospice often gives patients more time, not less.
