When a loved one is being discharged from Grady Memorial Hospital and can't safely return home, families often have less than 72 hours to make a life-changing care decision. Altuvo helps Metro Atlanta families identify, tour, and move into the right senior living or short-term rehab community — often within 24 to 72 hours of a Grady discharge.
Grady Health System is one of the largest public health systems in the Southeast and home to Georgia's only Level I trauma center, the Marcus Stroke & Neuroscience Center, and the Correll Cardiac Center. Grady serves patients from across Metro Atlanta and beyond — including many older adults recovering from stroke, trauma, cardiac events, and complex medical conditions. Because Grady handles a disproportionate share of high-acuity and safety-net patients, discharge planning here often involves navigating Medicaid, uninsured pathways, and CCSP/SOURCE waivers alongside private-pay senior living.
Grady patients often present after high-acuity, life-changing events — stroke, trauma, cardiac arrest, or advanced chronic disease. Placing a loved one in a community that can't handle their post-hospital acuity is one of the top drivers of 30-day readmission. Choosing the right receiving community protects the recovery Grady's clinicians worked to achieve.
From the moment a Grady case manager flags a patient as 'discharge pending,' families typically have 24 to 72 hours to identify a receiving community, complete a nursing assessment, transfer records, and coordinate transportation. Altuvo has walked hundreds of Atlanta families through this exact window.
Grady's case managers and social workers are excellent at coordinating the clinical handoff — they'll confirm the receiving facility, send records, and arrange non-emergency medical transport. What Grady cannot do is tour communities with your family, negotiate pricing, or advocate for your loved one's lifestyle and financial preferences. That's where Altuvo fills the gap.
Altuvo works alongside your Grady care team. We take the Face Sheet and clinical summary, match your loved one to 3-5 pre-vetted communities that accept their acuity level and payer source, arrange same-day tours (virtual or in-person), and coordinate the move-in logistics so your family can focus on recovery.
For patients who need 20-100 days of Medicare-covered physical, occupational, or speech therapy. Common after strokes, trauma, cardiac events, and amputations treated at Grady's Marcus Stroke and Trauma Centers.
For seniors who no longer need skilled nursing but can't safely manage medications, bathing, or meals independently. A common step-down from a Grady inpatient or rehab stay when home is no longer safe.
Secure, specialized communities for patients discharged with a new or progressing diagnosis of Alzheimer's, dementia, or post-stroke cognitive impairment — often first identified during a Grady admission.
Smaller residential settings that offer a home-like environment with a higher caregiver-to-resident ratio. Often the most affordable and appropriate fit for a Grady discharge patient — especially for families navigating CCSP or SOURCE waivers.
Post-discharge senior care costs vary by acuity, setting, and payer source. Here's what Grady-area families typically see:
Assisted living: $3,500–$6,500/mo. Memory care: $5,000–$8,000/mo. Short-term rehab is often covered by Medicare Part A for the first 20 days (100%) and days 21-100 with a daily copay. For uninsured or Medicaid patients discharging from Grady, Altuvo helps families understand skilled nursing, personal care home, and long-term Medicaid pathways.
Because Grady serves many Medicaid and uninsured patients, Georgia's CCSP and SOURCE waivers are especially relevant for Grady discharges. Neither waiver covers room and board in assisted living, but both can help cover personal care services for eligible seniors — and can be a key financial pathway into a personal care home. Altuvo connects Grady families with Georgia elder law attorneys and Medicaid planners who specialize in these programs.
For urgent Grady discharges, Altuvo can typically identify 3-5 matched communities within 4-6 hours and arrange tours or move-in within 24-72 hours, depending on your loved one's acuity level, payer source, and required assessments.
No. Grady case managers provide a list of licensed options in the area but cannot recommend a specific community, negotiate on your behalf, or tour with you. Altuvo is an independent placement service that works alongside your Grady care team to fill that gap — at no cost to families.
Medicare does not cover long-term assisted living or memory care. It does cover up to 100 days of short-term rehab in a skilled nursing facility after a qualifying 3-day inpatient hospital stay. Georgia Medicaid's CCSP and SOURCE waivers can help cover personal care services (not room and board) for eligible seniors. Altuvo helps Grady families understand every available pathway.
Altuvo works with many communities and personal care homes across Metro Atlanta that accept Medicaid waiver services and offer lower-cost private-pay options. We'll match your loved one to communities that fit their acuity and financial reality — not just the highest-priced options.
Nothing. Altuvo's placement services are 100% free to families. Communities compensate us when we successfully place a resident, which means our advocacy is aligned with finding the right fit — not the fastest sale.
Yes. Beyond placement, Altuvo coordinates the logistics — arranging non-emergency medical transport, ensuring medications and records transfer, and briefing the receiving community on your loved one's Grady care plan.
