Experts say 'death-defying' culture contributes to underused Hospice in Illinois
Illinois is failing aging population, draining Medicare dollars with inefficient end-of-life care system, healthcare authorities say
Celeste Jacques, a retired third-grade teacher, wanted to die at home in her own bed, not in a hospital. And she made sure her only child knew it.
University of Chicago doctors told Jacques in December 2006 that she had a weak heart valve and less than one year to live. At age 90, her arthritis and chronically high blood pressure made it too risky to operate. Her daughter, Jackie Pope, didn’t hesitate to enroll her in home hospice.
