Zion families attempt to maintain normal life—continuing jobs, caring for children, managing households—while simultaneously providing round-the-clock terminal care, an impossible juggling act causing everything to suffer. LifeChoice Hospice & Palliative Care helps Lake County residents balance competing responsibilities by removing caregiving tasks that don't require family members specifically. Since 2012, we've enabled thousands of households to maintain essential routines—keeping jobs that provide income and insurance, attending children's activities, managing basic household functions—while ensuring terminally ill loved ones receive professional care. Our services protect family stability during terminal illness rather than forcing households to sacrifice everything.
Zion households maintain stability through these responsibility-sharing hospice services:


Zion families maintaining jobs and other responsibilities while providing hospice care report feeling supported rather than stretched impossibly thin. Client surveys reveal 98 out of 100 families feel satisfied with how services integrate into their lives, reflected in 4.9-star average ratings. Accreditation from ACHC confirms our standards, Medicare certification validates our compliance, and independent assessments score our quality at 80 versus the standard 67 benchmark.
Building our reputation over 15 years taught us that demanding families abandon everything for terminal caregiving destroys household stability unnecessarily. Reach our professionals anytime at 847-777-8888—continuous availability means Zion residents get support fitting their schedules rather than ours. We recognize that maintaining income, supporting children, and managing basic household functions aren't selfish priorities competing with caregiving—they're necessities protecting family survival during and after terminal illness. Our role involves shouldering professional caregiving responsibilities so families can maintain the employment, parenting, and household management ensuring stability when one member needs end-of-life care.
