About Us

Medical Director Services was founded in 2016 when SNFs were shifting a focus on value while treating residents with higher acuity. MDS PC emphasizes quality and customer service first. A crucial focus is treating in place when possible and reducing unnecessary hospitalizations. MDS PC is experienced in providing medical services in an SNF setting with an understanding of how to deliver effective medical care in an SNF and an understanding of the survey process. We work with facilities with specialty units and provide appropriate medical personnel with experience in treating residents on vents. It is standard for our providers to reach out to surrounding hospitals to ensure good communication for continuation of care. We focus on reducing the number of medications as well as narcotics and psychotropic meds; if providers determine a medication is appropriate, we ensure it is well documented so the facility is not cited.
