Hospice Services in Riverwoods, Illinois | LifeChoice Hospice & Palliative Care

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.

  • Expert pain relief and symptom management through registered nurses who assess patient comfort frequently and work with doctors to maintain effective treatment protocols
