Hospice Just Started. What Do I Do Next?
Get a personalized next-step plan for the things hospice does not automatically organize for you.
When someone you love enters hospice, there can suddenly be a lot to keep track of: questions for the care team, paperwork, family communication, household responsibilities, practical decisions, and figuring out what actually needs attention now.
Hospice Navigator turns your situation into a clear, prioritized plan.
$79 one-time
You do not need another giant checklist.
You need to know what matters for your situation.
After a short intake, your Hospice Navigator plan may include:
- Your top three priorities
- What to handle in the next 24–48 hours
- What to handle this week
- Questions to bring to hospice or the care team
- Documents and information worth locating
- Family and support coordination
- Household and practical logistics
- What can wait
- A short next-step checklist
- Notes to take into your next care meeting
Sections that do not apply to you are left out.

Who it is for
Hospice Navigator can help if:
- Hospice just started

- You are receiving care yourself
- You are not even sure whether hospice or another type of care is the right conversation yet
What Hospice Navigator is not
Hospice Navigator does not replace hospice, your physician, social worker, attorney, or other licensed professional.
It does not diagnose conditions, recommend medical treatment, interpret the law, or predict how long someone has to live.
It helps you organize the situation, identify the next questions, and stop carrying everything in your head.
Created by Smart Collaborations
Smart Collaborations provides care navigation, medical advocacy, and end-of-life planning support. Hospice Navigator was created from that practical work: helping people understand what needs attention, prepare for professional conversations, and organize complicated situations without replacing the professionals already involved.
Privacy
The intake asks only for information needed to prepare your plan. Please do not submit Social Security numbers, account numbers, passwords, insurance identification numbers, full medical records, or other unnecessary sensitive information.
$79. One personalized plan. No subscription.
This plan helps you organize next steps. It is not medical or legal advice. Your care team can explain which options fit your situation.
