What happens in the next 24 to 72 hours?

  1. 1

    Hour one

    You call, we pick up. We take the facility name, the discharge date, and what the discharge planner is recommending, then tell you what level of care will actually accept your family member.

  2. 2

    Same day

    We call communities with real openings this week, confirm they can handle the care needs, and confirm the price. You get two or three options, not a list of twenty.

  3. 3

    Next 24 to 48 hours

    The community completes an assessment, often by phone or at the bedside. We chase the physician orders, the medication list, and the TB test so nothing stalls at the last minute.

  4. 4

    Move day

    We are there for the free four-hour Tuck-In. Unpacking, bed made, pictures hung, clothing labeled, and introductions to the caregivers by name.

Rehab vs skilled nursing vs assisted living: which one unlocks the rest?

Short-term rehab is therapy after a hospital stay, usually inside a skilled nursing building, and Medicare often covers part of it after a qualifying three-night admission. It buys you time and it buys strength.

Skilled nursing is round-the-clock licensed nursing for medically complex needs, wound care, feeding tubes, or someone who cannot transfer safely. Assisted living is help with bathing, dressing, medication, and meals for someone who is medically stable.

Picking correctly matters because the wrong level means a second move in a month. Read how skilled nursing and rehab differ in Colorado, or let us make the call with you on the phone in ten minutes.

What should you have ready before you call?

  • The hospital, rehab, or facility name and the unit
  • The discharge date the planner has given you, even if it may slip
  • What the discharge planner is recommending, in their words
  • The current medication list and whether oxygen or a wheelchair is involved
  • Whether there is memory loss, wandering, or difficult behavior at night
  • The monthly budget, plus any long-term care insurance, VA benefit, or Medicaid status

Do not wait to gather all of it. Call with what you have.

How fast can you actually move?

Our fastest placements happen the same day, when a community already has an open room, the care needs are straightforward, and the physician paperwork comes over quickly. Two to three days is more typical for an urgent discharge.

Memory care can take slightly longer because a secured community needs a proper behavioral assessment first. If Medicaid is paying, expect a longer runway and let us start that conversation now rather than at discharge.

Frequently asked questions

Call and you will speak with a person, not a queue. Requests that come in during the day get a same-day answer, usually within an hour.

Often, yes. We know which Colorado communities have openings this week and which can complete an assessment quickly.

The hospital or facility name, the discharge date, what the discharge planner is recommending, the monthly budget, and any dementia or oxygen needs.

Send it to us. We will tell you honestly which places on it we would put our own family in and which we would not.

No. Our help is free to your family whether you have six weeks or six hours.

We will tell you straight, then look at respite stays, a short skilled nursing stay, or Medicaid options while we keep hunting.

Not sure where to start? Call us.

It is free, and there is no pressure.
