North Barrington families split their focus between hospital-based care and home hospice, never fully committing to either approach. They enroll in hospice but keep calling ambulances for every concerning symptom, maintain multiple specialist appointments while receiving palliative care, and mentally treat hospice as temporary until they return to aggressive treatment. This divided approach prevents hospice from working effectively while accomplishing little through continued medical interventions. LifeChoice Hospice & Palliative Care helps Lake County residents commit fully to one clear direction instead of splitting energy between incompatible goals. Since 2012, we've guided thousands of households away from this confused middle ground toward focused comfort care that actually works.
