You don't have to carry this alone
A steady light for the hardest days.
Beacon & Breathe is a care command center for families moving a loved one from the hospital to home hospice. Everything you're juggling, from documents and agencies to supplies, visitors, meals and final plans, gathered in one calm, private place, so you can breathe and be present.
Free to use: create your family's plan and invite everyone in at no cost.
Important documents
Track the POLST, DNR, advance directive, will, trust and power of attorney, and whether each is notarized.
Choosing hospice
Schedule interviews with local agencies, keep notes, and choose the team you trust in your home.
Home care
Shared supply registry, care tasks family can claim, and private lists that protect your loved one's dignity.
Visitors & meals
A family-managed visitor calendar, a meal train, and a groceries list friends can help with.
End-of-life planning
Funeral homes, military honors, obituary, service photos, and the paperwork that comes after.
