Our mission began when registered nurse Alex Roshko recognized the need for more personalized, attentive hospice care after his grandfather's experience in 2011. This personal commitment led to LifeChoice's founding in 2012 with the dedication to provide the deeply human, patient-centered support every family deserves. This philosophy continues to guide our approach today.

LifeChoice offers free consultations throughout Chicago and the Chicagoland area to help determine eligibility.

LifeChoice Hospice makes it easy to verify your loved one’s insurance coverage. We work with Medicare, Medicaid, VA benefits, and most private insurance providers. Families in Chicago and surrounding communities can contact our team for a fast and confidential eligibility check.
