At LifeChoice Hospice, we care for your loved one where they feel most at peace—at home. Our team provides expert support for those facing terminal illness, with a focus on comfort, dignity, and quality of life. Each care plan is thoughtfully tailored to meet medical needs while also honoring emotional, social, and spiritual well-being. Families throughout Chicagoland count on us for guidance, comfort, and genuine care when it matters most.
Founded with purpose and compassion, LifeChoice Hospice and Palliative Care has grown from a small team in 2012 to a fully accredited agency trusted by families across the Chicagoland area.
In 2011, our founder Alex watched his grandfather enter hospice care. The medical support was there—but something was missing. The warmth. The time. The sense that someone truly saw his grandfather as more than just a patient.
A year later, Alex started LifeChoice Hospice and Palliative Care with a simple mission: to give other families the kind of care he wished his own had received. Care that’s personal. Patient. Deeply human.
Today, that same commitment guides everything we do—and it’s why so many families across Chicagoland continue to place their trust in us.
We walk beside you every step of the way, ensuring that your loved one's journey is filled with meaningful moments, heartfelt connection, unwavering dignity, and the deep respect that is deserved.
Facing death of a loved one is often scary and both physically and emotionally painful, but we are with you every step of the way.
We want to honor each life in a way, and your choice to live in a manner that is meaningful. Together with your loved one, we will help you create a Plan of Care that is personalized to individual hopes, concerns, and expectations. Our Interdisciplinary Team specializes in facilitating end-of-life care in a manner that is effective and efficient. We are trained to minimize pain, increase peace, and empower our patients to transition as peacefully as possible.

I’m proud of the compassionate care we provide, and it speaks for itself. We’re trusted partners in this important journey.

Being a hospice CNA is about so much more than just providing personal care. I want to be a part of something greater that makes the lives of my patients better. I enjoy working with a group of others who care as much as I do.
I grew up spending a lot of time with my grandparents. When they became ill, we didn’t have anyone to guide us, which adversely affected the whole family. Today, I know that there is a better way to support people during such a difficult time.
My dear mother is an amazingly compassionate nurse. She works so hard to advocate and make sure all her patients are safe and sound. She inspired me to pursue the field. Having been a nurse for over a decade, I have seen many people with different illnesses. Like my mother, I believe that everyone deserves a life with comfort and dignity. Unfortunately, this goal is harder to achieve when the...
