The Family Care Navigation Session
Sometimes you don't need another guide. You need someone who's been there.
45 minutes, one-on-one, with someone who has spent 15 years inside healthcare, hospice, and caregiving. You bring your situation. I bring the experience.
You walk away with a clear, written plan for what to do next, and the relief of not carrying the decision by yourself.
Only 4 sessions open each week, so each family gets my full attention.
Why this exists
Everyone owns a piece of your situation. Nobody owns the whole thing.
Doctors have about 12 minutes per appointment. Hospital social workers are stretched thin and only available inside the building. Lawyers handle the documents, but not the family. Therapists help with the emotion, but not the logistics.
So the person holding it all together is you. With no training, no map, and no one looking at the full picture.
That gap is what a Family Care Consultant fills. I look at the whole situation with you and tell you what to focus on first, second, and third.
What you walk away with
You leave with a plan. Not just a conversation.
A clear picture of where your family is.
Most caregivers are too deep in it to see the whole situation. We name it out loud, so you stop operating in the fog.
Your next 3 to 5 moves, in order.
Not a 40-item list. What can't wait, what can, and what you can stop worrying about entirely.
Words for the conversations you're dreading.
The sibling who won't help. The parent who won't accept care. The doctor who won't slow down.
Answers to your 2 a.m. questions.
Bring your list. The things you've been searching for and didn't know who to ask.
A written action plan within 24 hours.
Everything we cover, in writing. Follow it step by step, and forward it to family so everyone is on the same page.
Two weeks of follow-up.
For 14 days after our call, you can email me the questions that come up once you start moving.
How it works
Three steps. No homework you can't handle.
- Before the callYou fill out a short intake form so I understand your family before we start. If life gets in the way, we cover it at the top of the call.
- The session45 focused minutes. You walk me through where you are, and we work through it. Calmly. Clearly. No judgment.
- Your planWithin 24 hours you get your written action plan, with your next steps in priority order.
From families
What it's like to have Alyssa in your corner.
"Alyssa helped so much when Mom was in the hospital. We were terrified — we thought she was going to die. Then she pulled through, and we had no idea what to do next. We called Alyssa and she walked us through everything. She has a calming presence and gives it to you straight, no fluff, but still so understanding. We came away with a plan and with resources. That call changed the trajectory for our whole family."
Joslyn M., daughter and primary caregiver
"When Mom was admitted to hospice, we knew the basics, but Alyssa walked us through each step of what to expect and calmed the fears we had. She also helped us understand what hospice should be doing for us. She is an advocate for your family."
Amanda H., granddaughter
Before you book
Straight answers.
Can we really cover my situation in 45 minutes?
More than you'd think. The intake form means I already have a feel for where you are, so we go straight to the plan.
My family situation is complicated. I don't know how to explain it.
It always is. You don't need to have it organized before we talk. You explain it however it comes out, and I'll ask the questions that make sense of it.
Is this medical, legal, or financial advice?
No. This is navigation and education based on 15 years of professional experience. Where those decisions come up, I'll help you know what to ask and who to ask.
Can I book before there's a crisis?
Yes, and it's one of the smartest things you can do. The earlier we talk, the more options your family has.
What if I need more than one session?
Many families book one session and leave with what they need. There's no package and no pressure. You decide if you want another.
You came in carrying it by yourself. You leave with a plan.
One session. A written plan. Someone who has been in the room hundreds of times, standing in your corner.
