BEFORE START WHERE I AM
Get the ground truth first.
A short orientation explains who makes the medical decision, what intake starts, what Medicare may cover, and what the family still has to build at home.
1 Eligibility and election are not the same thing.
2 Intake creates an individual plan of care.
3 Hospice clinical coverage is not continuous bedside staffing.

ORIENTATION · UNDERSTAND BEFORE YOU BUILD
Home hospice begins with a decision—but it becomes a home-care system.
Watch the basics, check what became clear, and let the room recommend the next visual lessons. You may skip ahead when time is short.

This case tests the navigator and the family coordination process. It is not medical guidance and should never be applied to a real person.
