Senior living has placement systems. It has referral networks. What it's never had is a transfer system. PatientSwaps is building that.
Every year, hundreds of thousands of families need to move a loved one from one care facility to another. Maybe they relocated for work. Maybe they want their parent closer. Maybe the current facility isn't the right fit.
The senior living industry has invested billions in placement systems — getting people into facilities the first time. Referral networks, discharge planners, placement advisors. But once someone is placed, there's no system for transferring them somewhere else.
Senior living has sophisticated placement systems — but no transfer infrastructure. That's the gap PatientSwaps fills.
We borrowed a concept from transplant medicine. Kidney exchanges don't require a direct swap between two patients. Instead, they build chains: Patient A's donor gives to Patient B, Patient B's donor gives to Patient C, and Patient C's donor gives to Patient A. Everyone gets what they need.
PatientSwaps applies the same logic to senior living transfers. Resident A moves from Denver to Phoenix. Resident B moves from Phoenix to Dallas. Resident C moves from Dallas to Denver. Three families move closer to their loved ones. Three facilities maintain full occupancy. One coordinated transfer chain makes it happen.
We're starting in Colorado — building a dense local network before expanding nationally. Here's what the roadmap looks like:
Build a dense network of 40-60 facilities in the Denver metro. Prove the transfer chain model works. Onboard first transport partners.
Expand to Phoenix, Dallas, and the mountain west corridor. Begin inter-state transfer chains. Launch facility dashboard.
Connect major metro networks into a national transfer exchange. Add hospital discharge planner channel. Launch waitlist exchange.
Real-time bed inventory, insurance navigation, and AI-powered matching. PatientSwaps becomes the operating system for senior care placement and transfers.
The core: coordinating multi-facility transfers so residents move closer to family while facilities maintain census.
A secondary market for facility waitlists. Families trade positions, facilities gain visibility into real demand.
The first national database of available beds by care level, payer type, and location. Discharge planners use it to place patients.
Automated payer verification and coverage mapping so families know what's covered before the transfer starts.
At scale, PatientSwaps becomes the operating system for senior care placement — not just the first placement, but every move that follows.
