Placement service · Los Angeles County
Hospital discharge in 72 hours? Call us today.
When the discharge date is set and your parent cannot go home safely, we confirm a licensed bed that fits their care level, often the same day.
What it is
Discharges move fast. A case manager tells you on Tuesday that your parent is ready on Friday, and suddenly you need a licensed home with an open bed, the right clearance, and a rate you can afford, while also going to work and visiting the hospital.
Urgent discharges are a large part of our work. We call the homes that fit, confirm openings and clearances, and can often come back with confirmed options the same day. Moving in still needs a physician's report and TB clearance, and we help you get both quickly.
Signs this may be the right fit
- The hospital or rehab has set a discharge date
- Going home is not safe, or nobody can be there
- Your parent needs more care than before the admission
- Other homes have said no, or have no openings
What to look for
What needs to happen, in order:
- Call us and the case manager today. Tell the case manager you are arranging a care home.
- Get the physician's report started. California form LIC 602A, completed within the past year. Ask the hospitalist to complete it before discharge.
- Ask for a TB clearance now. It can hold up a move if left to the last day.
- Get the discharge summary and medication list, including any new orders.

What it costs and who pays
Same-day placement costs your family nothing. The home's monthly rate is the same as it would be on any other day, typically $3,000 to $6,000 a month for board and care in California in 2026.
How we help
No cost to your family, start to finish
Same-day options
Confirmed beds, matched to the discharge summary, not maybes.

Questions families ask
Can the hospital discharge my parent with nowhere safe to go?
Hospitals are required to plan a safe discharge. Tell the case manager you are arranging a care home and keep them updated.
What if Medicare will cover rehab first?
Medicare may cover a short skilled nursing stay after a qualifying hospital admission. If that applies, we can line up the board and care home for when rehab ends.
