Therapy Management Services
Therapy Management Services
Effective therapy services are a core driver of resident satisfaction, clinical outcomes, and financial stability in skilled nursing and senior living communities. Our Therapy Management Services offer a hands-on approach—whether you’re bringing therapy in-house for the first time or transitioning from a contract provider to your own internal team. By focusing on best practices, cost control, and quality outcomes, we help you unlock the full potential of your therapy department.
What We Do
Comprehensive Department Assessment
We start by reviewing your current therapy setup—or the feasibility of creating one. This involves analyzing staffing needs, existing protocols, clinical documentation, and revenue streams to pinpoint both opportunities and challenges.
Transition & Implementation Support
- Bring Therapy In-House
If you’re building an in-house therapy team from scratch, we guide you through hiring qualified therapists, setting up workflows, and integrating documentation systems for smooth daily operations. - Move from Contract to In-House
For communities ending a contract therapy arrangement, we help create a strategic transition plan. This covers contract reviews, budget assessments, and staff onboarding to minimize disruptions and maintain care quality.
Clinical Oversight & Compliance
Our team implements evidence-based therapy protocols and ensures your department aligns with regulations like PDPM or other payer requirements. We also provide ongoing compliance checks and performance metrics to keep you survey-ready.
Training & Staff Development
We offer on-site or virtual training to boost therapists’ skills, improve documentation accuracy, and foster a collaborative culture where clinical excellence meets resident-centered care.
Ongoing Monitoring & Optimization
Once your therapy department is operational, we track key performance indicators such as treatment frequency, productivity, and resident outcomes. We use these insights to fine-tune strategies, ensuring you stay on track for financial and clinical success.
Common Challenges We Address
Unclear Financial Impact – Unsure if transitioning in-house is more cost-effective than maintaining a contract.
Staffing & Onboarding – Difficulty finding and integrating skilled therapists into your existing culture.
Documentation & Compliance Gaps – Risk of denials or penalties if therapy services aren’t properly documented or aligned with payer rules.
Cultural Resistance – Contract therapy staff may resist a shift to internal management, requiring careful communication and leadership.
Why It Matters
Bringing therapy services in-house—or optimizing an existing in-house program—does more than improve your bottom line. It fosters better staff collaboration, resident satisfaction, and clinical outcomes, all while strengthening your facility’s reputation as a progressive, resident-focused community.
