Grayslake families keep moving enrollment goalposts by adding just one more condition before they'll start hospice. They say they'll enroll after the next doctor appointment, then postpone until finishing current medication cycle, then wait for upcoming family visit, continuously adding new requirements delaying enrollment indefinitely. Each postponement seems reasonable individually, yet stringing them together means hospice never actually starts while patients suffer unnecessarily through delays. LifeChoice Hospice & Palliative Care helps Lake County residents recognize that perpetually adding one more condition prevents accessing care patients need now. Since 2012, we've supported thousands of households learning that waiting for perfect conditions means hospice never begins.
Grayslake households access help now through these readily available hospice services:


Grayslake families who stopped adding conditions and enrolled immediately consistently express relief they didn't waste additional weeks postponing. Client satisfaction reaches 98 families out of every 100 who acted promptly rather than perpetually delaying. Ratings from actual households average 4.9 stars from families grateful they stopped moving goalposts. Our credentials include ACHC accreditation and Medicare certification, while performance assessments place us at 80 points versus the benchmark of 67.
Supporting Illinois families for over 15 years taught us that continuously adding enrollment conditions means hospice never actually starts. Our staff answers at 847-777-8888 continuously because Grayslake residents need immediate access to comfort care. We help families recognize that waiting until after the next appointment then after the medication change then after the family visit creates endless postponement preventing care from ever beginning, that perfect conditions never arrive making postponement perpetual, and that patients need comfort support now not after families complete one more condition delaying enrollment indefinitely while suffering continues unnecessarily.
