Why Discharge Planners Work With Us

You know the frustration: a patient needs to be discharged, but facility after facility says no. The patient is too complex, too heavy, too medically fragile. Meanwhile, the bed is needed, the family is stressed, and the clock is ticking.

We solve this problem. Our network specializes in adult family homes that accept high-acuity patients — the ones everyone else turns away.

We Take the Hard Cases

Ventilator-dependent, tracheostomy, bariatric, dialysis — we have homes in our network equipped for complex medical needs. Stop calling facilities that will say no.

Fast Turnaround

We understand hospital bed pressure. When you call with an urgent case, we prioritize it. Expect matched options within 24-72 hours, often faster.

📞

Direct Access

No call centers. No phone trees. You'll have our direct numbers. When you call at 4pm on Friday with an urgent case, someone answers.

🎯

Pre-Qualified Matches

We don't send you a list of 50 facilities to call. We identify 3-5 homes that can actually accept your patient's level of care and have current availability.

📋

We Handle the Details

From coordinating tours to managing paperwork, we take the administrative burden off your plate so you can focus on patient care.

🤝

We Make You Look Good
