Skilled Nursing Facility Placement Partner Program
Coordinating post-acute and long-term care placements to skilled nursing facilities in Texas — from hospital discharge to Medicaid-funded long-stay admissions.
Skilled nursing facilities receive referrals through hospital discharge planners, case managers, and families doing independent research — but a placement specialist who knows your capabilities in depth can be a valuable additional referral source, particularly for long-term Medicaid admissions and complex cases that hospital discharge planners don’t have time to research thoroughly. I refer to SNFs when the family needs more than assisted living can provide, when post-acute rehab is the goal, or when Medicaid funding requires a certified nursing facility.
Why Partner With Erika
Post-Acute Referrals
Families discharged from hospital or IRF who need short-term SNF rehab are a growing referral type. I help families navigate post-acute options beyond what the hospital discharge planner has bandwidth to cover.
Medicaid Long-Stay Coordination
Long-term Medicaid admissions require families to navigate STAR+PLUS enrollment, spend-down, and asset verification. I help families arrive at your door ready for admission — reducing administrative burden on your team.
Capability-Based Matching
I maintain detailed knowledge of partner SNFs’ specialty capabilities — wound care, ventilator, trach, bariatric, behavioral, etc. — so referrals match what you can actually manage.
How It Works
Family or hospital contact
I receive a referral from a family, hospital social worker, or discharge planner who needs help finding the right SNF. I gather clinical needs, payer source, and timeline.
Capability and availability check
I contact partner SNFs to verify current availability and confirm the facility can meet the specific clinical needs — including specialty capabilities and payer source acceptance.
Warm referral and coordination
I make a warm introduction, provide a clinical brief to your admissions team, and coordinate the intake process to reduce friction for both the family and your staff.
Medicaid pre-coordination if needed
For Medicaid admissions, I help the family understand the documentation and enrollment process so they arrive prepared — reducing back-and-forth with your billing department.
