Gerinet Post Acute — CareConnectMD

Our Post-Acute Care Program

Individuals in post-acute settings deserve only the highest quality medical administrative and patient care services.

We have talented and experienced Physicians, Nurse Practitioners, and Physician Assistants who spend 100% of their time practicing in the post-acute care setting.

Our unique care model not only improves the experience of patients and residents, but also enhances the quality of post-acute care services delivered, and significantly reduces the cost of that care, offering a brighter future for all.

Interventions integrate hands-on care by a Nurse Practitioner and Physician embedded in the nursing home. We help control costs, improve care through decreased ER visits, hospitalization, and ambulance use, and improve patient & family satisfaction.
