Terminal illness creates medical demands that feel impossible for Riverwoods families to manage without institutional support, yet most patients prefer staying home. LifeChoice Hospice & Palliative Care bridges this gap by bringing hospital-level symptom management directly to Lake County residences, eliminating the need for repeated facility admissions. Since 2012, we've shown thousands of families that professional hospice care makes home-based end-of-life experiences both feasible and preferable. Our interdisciplinary teams coordinate everything from medication delivery to emotional counseling, allowing Riverwoods patients to spend their remaining days in comfortable, familiar surroundings while families receive the expert support they need.
We bring these essential hospice services to Riverwoods homes:

Since founding our practice over 15 years ago, we've understood that hospice care demands both medical excellence and human warmth. Our professionals respond to calls at 847-777-8888 every hour of every day, ensuring Riverwoods families always reach experienced staff when emergencies occur, symptoms worsen, or they simply need guidance from someone who cares.
