Waukegan families watch relationships deteriorate under caregiving stress as resentment builds between partners who used to support each other. One spouse provides all hands-on care while the other works to maintain income, creating bitter divisions over who contributes more. Siblings argue about fair responsibility when one lives locally providing daily help while others offer only occasional visits. LifeChoice Hospice & Palliative Care prevents these fractures for Lake County residents by removing inequitable burden distribution that breeds resentment. Since 2012, we've protected thousands of family relationships from damage that unequal caregiving creates.
