North Plato families often delay hospice conversations because they misunderstand the eligibility criteria and believe enrollment requires giving up all other medical care. LifeChoice Hospice & Palliative Care clarifies these misconceptions for Kane County residents, explaining that hospice patients can still see their regular doctors, receive treatments for other conditions, and even pursue certain therapies that improve comfort. Since 2012, we've helped thousands of families realize that choosing hospice doesn't mean abandoning all medical support—it means coordinating care more effectively around comfort and quality of life goals.
