End-of-Life Transition Discharge from MD Anderson
World's largest cancer center, located in the Texas Medical Center
Okay, so first things first — if you're reading this, the MD Anderson discharge planner just told you something that changed your week. You have a small window to find the right next setting for your loved one. SeniorIQ matches your situation to the three Houston communities that fit, with bed availability confirmed, in under four hours. Free for your family. Free for MD Anderson. Texas Chapter 121 disclosure included.
Clinical context
When a senior is medically stable but no longer benefits from acute care, the discharge plan often transitions to hospice (Medicare Part A benefit) coordinated within an assisted living or memory care setting. The family wants comfort, dignity, and continuity.
The 4-hour SLA
- Hour 0: MD Anderson discharge planner submits a PHI-free intake (initials only, care level, mobility, target window).
- Hour 1: SeniorIQ's match engine runs against the live HHSC-licensed community registry.
- Hour 2-3: Real-time bed-availability check via email and phone.
- Hour 4: Top-3 verified matches delivered to the discharge planner. Texas Chapter 121 disclosure auto-generated for the family.
