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

Russell families managing terminal illness at home often feel abandoned by the medical system once curative treatments stop working. LifeChoice Hospice & Palliative Care fills this gap for Lake County residents, providing the structured medical support that standard healthcare stops offering after diagnosis becomes terminal. Since 2012, we've helped thousands of families discover that hospice creates the continuity of care they desperately needed—regular nursing visits, consistent symptom monitoring, coordinated medication management, and someone actually answering the phone when problems develop. Our teams provide Russell households with the medical structure and reliable support that transforms uncertain, frightening situations into managed, predictable care routines.

Russell's Comprehensive Hospice Programs

We deliver these essential hospice services throughout Russell:

  • Scheduled nursing care with consistency providing the same registered nurses who learn your loved one's patterns and catch subtle changes that indicate problems developing
  • Hands-on daily care assistance helping with bathing, grooming, dressing, and personal needs while teaching family members sustainable caregiving techniques
  • Home medical equipment coordination including hospital beds, respiratory devices, wheelchairs, and supplies delivered to your Russell residence without charge
  • Social work services addressing real problems helping families manage insurance issues, legal documents, family disagreements, and caregiver burnout before crises develop
  • Spiritual support without pressure offering chaplains who respect whatever beliefs or doubts you have and provide comfort in ways that feel authentic
  • Veteran-focused programs through our We Honor Veterans initiative, delivering care that understands military culture and service-related needs
  • Ongoing bereavement support providing grief counseling and resources to family members for up to 13 months following loss
