Green Oaks families expect hospice enrollment to magically resolve longstanding family dysfunction and complicated relationships terminal illness didn't create. They hope professional intervention will force estranged siblings to reconcile, believe social workers can repair decades of marital problems, or imagine chaplains will suddenly make dysfunctional families functional. Terminal illness amplifies existing problems rather than creating opportunities for miraculous relationship healing. LifeChoice Hospice & Palliative Care helps Lake County residents recognize that hospice provides medical support not family therapy fixing years of unresolved issues. Since 2012, we've worked with thousands of households learning that terminal illness rarely transforms dysfunctional families into idealized versions they never were.
Green Oaks families receive appropriate support through these properly scoped hospice services:


Green Oaks families discover that hospice effectively manages medical needs even when it cannot magically fix complicated family relationships.

Our staff answers at 847-777-8888 continuously because Green Oaks residents need immediate medical guidance not family therapy. We focus on managing symptoms, coordinating care, and providing comfort during terminal illness while acknowledging that hospice cannot repair relationship problems that existed long before this medical crisis began.
