Geaux Healthcare Consulting

Turnaround, growth, operations, and recruiting for post-acute providers.

Our team has more than 20 years of experience building, growing, and turning around programs across long-term acute care, inpatient rehabilitation, skilled nursing, home health, hospice, and palliative care. Whether the problem is census, margins, operations, or staffing, one email is the place to start.

We know every setting a post-acute patient moves through, and we hold the connections between them together.

Most census and margin problems start at a handoff: a referral that stalls, an eligibility gap, a payer that won't authorize the next level of care. That's where our work usually begins.

Services

Not sure which of these you need? That's normal. Email us, tell us what's happening, and we'll figure it out together.

Turnaround and fractional leadership

For programs losing census, margin, or survey standing. We diagnose what's driving it, set a plan your team can run, and lead it with them as interim or fractional leadership.

P&L and operational review

A line-by-line review of your P&L, staffing ratios, cost per patient day, and payer mix to show where margin is leaking and what to fix first.

Profitable inpatient hospice units

Open, reposition, or fix an inpatient hospice unit so it runs at a consistent positive margin: admissions criteria, staffing model, level-of-care documentation, and referral flow.

Growth and referral development

Build referral relationships with hospitals, physicians, skilled nursing, and assisted living, and set up the liaison and intake processes that turn referrals into admissions.

Payer and partnership strategy

Design programs with managed Medicaid and other payers that open access to post-acute care and show the plan measurable savings.

Staffing and recruiting

From administrators and directors of nursing to RNs, LPNs, aides, and community liaisons, we help you find and keep the people your program depends on.

Every engagement starts with a conversation.
