A hospice personal care assistant helps your loved one with the daily activities that become hard during serious illness: bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, and repositioning. Visits follow the care plan your nurse sets with you, and the service is covered under the Medicare hospice benefit for eligible patients.

When someone you love needs help with daily care, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed. You want them to be safe. You want them to be comfortable. Most of all, you want them to feel respected. At LifeChoice, we understand how much you're carrying. That’s why our personal care assistants are here — not just to help your loved one, but to support you too. Whether care takes place at home or in an assisted living setting, we bring calm, kindness, and dignity to every moment. You don’t have to do this alone. Need guidance? Call us 847-777-8888. Need to refer a patient? Start the referral process today.
If you are providing this care yourself, our caregiver burnout support is there for you, and LifeChoice also delivers the medical equipment that makes daily care safer at home.
Our caregivers are trained, gentle, and compassionate. They step in with patience and professionalism — giving your loved one the care they need and giving you peace of mind.
Here’s how we help:
• Bathing or showering assistance
• Bed baths for those with limited mobility
• Help with toileting and incontinence care
• Oral hygiene (brushing, flossing, denture care)
• Grooming: hair brushing, shaving, nail care, moisturizing
These small routines make a big difference in comfort and confidence. We help your loved one feel fresh, cared for, and seen — every day.
Needing help with private things — like bathing or getting dressed — can feel vulnerable. That’s why we lead with kindness, build trust, and always work with respect and discretion.
We’re not just here to assist. We’re here to reassure, encourage, and bring calm to daily life.
Maintaining good oral health is a vital part of overall wellness, especially for those who may need assistance with their daily routines. Our professional caregivers are trained to assist with all aspects of oral hygiene, ensuring that our clients maintain a healthy mouth and a bright smile.
A healthy mouth supports overall health and comfort. We help with:
• Brushing teeth or dentures
• Flossing gently
• Mouthwash use
• Denture cleaning and care
All done with patience, compassion, and a focus on dignity.
Toileting challenges can feel frustrating and emotional. We’re here to make them easier, safer, and less stressful.
We assist with:
• Safe trips to the bathroom or commode
• Incontinence product changes and skin care
• Catheter hygiene when needed
We do it all with professionalism and respect — no embarrassment, no judgment.
You want to be present — to sit, talk, laugh, hold hands, just be there. But when you're doing everything, it's hard to enjoy any of it. Let us lighten the load. We’ll handle the personal care, so you can focus on being a daughter, son, spouse, or friend again. That’s what matters most.
