Families call the hospice because there is nowhere else to call. Social Security, bank accounts, a car title in only his name. LifeAfter gives every family a structured roadmap at discharge, so those hours stop coming out of your social workers' days.
Get in touch"Bereavement counseling is a required hospice service but it is not reimbursable." This comes directly from 42 CFR 418.204(c).
Bereavement services extend up to one year under 42 CFR 418.64, which most hospices operationalize as 13 months to cover the first anniversary. None of it is reimbursed, so the administrative share of that support quietly consumes licensed staff time with no budget behind it. That share is what LifeAfter takes.
Share the link at discharge
Your team gives the family a hospice-specific join link. Families self-enroll, so no patient data changes hands and procurement stays simple.
Each family gets a roadmap
A short assessment builds a personalized plan drawn from a library of more than 100 administrative tasks.
Your team keeps visibility
An admin dashboard shows family engagement, so support continues even when a condolence call reaches voicemail.
Funeral directors tell us families forget most of what they're told before they get home, and nobody hands them a follow-up plan. Social workers describe Social Security alone taking a dozen calls, with families repeating "my husband died" on every one. That work is happening today. It is invisible, unfunded, and landing on your staff.
Partnerships are paid, priced to your organization, with a 30-day opt-out. I'm Maddie, LifeAfter's founder, and I'd welcome hearing how your team handles bereavement follow-up today. Is that something you're actively thinking about, or is it further down the list?
