Deerfield families fracture under the stress of terminal illness—siblings disagree about treatment decisions, spouses clash over care locations, adult children fight with each other while the patient suffers caught in the middle. LifeChoice Hospice & Palliative Care mediates these painful conflicts for Lake County residents by providing neutral professional perspectives that help divided families find common ground. Since 2012, we've helped thousands of households navigate disagreements threatening to destroy relationships during already difficult times. Our teams facilitate conversations where everyone feels heard, helping Deerfield families make unified decisions despite different opinions.
Deerfield households find unity through these mediation-focused hospice services:


Deerfield families often discover that professional mediation helped them stay together through situations that could have destroyed relationships permanently. Family satisfaction reaches 98%, with client ratings averaging 4.9 stars including appreciation for conflict resolution support. We maintain both ACHC accreditation and Medicare certification, with independent quality assessments scoring us at 80 points versus the typical 67-point industry standard.
After supporting Illinois families for over 15 years, we recognize that terminal illness amplifies existing family tensions while creating new conflicts. Reach our team at 847-777-8888 anytime—availability around the clock means Deerfield residents get immediate support when family arguments escalate. We're committed to helping families find unity during terminal illness rather than allowing disagreements to fracture relationships permanently. Dying patients shouldn't spend final months caught between warring family factions, and surviving family members deserve to grieve together rather than separately. Our role involves providing the neutral professional perspective, facilitated communication, and objective medical information that helps divided families find common ground, make unified decisions, and preserve relationships that will need to support each other through grief after the patient is gone.
