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.
We deliver these essential hospice services throughout Russell:
