BedFlowsLive bed availability across the California ALW network
The Assisted Living Waiver (ALW) connects Medi-Cal beneficiaries to residential care facilities across California. For years, placement ran on phone trees, faxes, and whoever you happened to know. BedFlows puts the whole network in front of you — live bed counts, posted by the facilities themselves, timestamped so you can trust them.
- Facilities post open beds by tier and gender
- Coordinators search by county, city, and care level
- SNFs list patients ready for placement

Every record
Carries an "as of" status timestamp
Three sides of the same placement
A patient leaves the SNF, a coordinator finds the match, a facility fills the bed — and every step runs on information each side keeps current itself.
SNF
Lists patients ready for placement
Discharge planners keep the pipeline current — tier, gender, managed care org (MCO), target discharge date.
Care Coordinator
Searches and matches
One search across real-time open beds and the discharge pipeline — the whole network in one place.
ALW Facility
Posts live bed counts
Open beds by tier (1–5) and gender, timestamped every time they save.
Everyone updates their own side. Nobody waits on anybody's fax machine.
For care coordinators
You choose who to call
No more dialing down a list hoping somebody has a bed. Search every participating facility at once, see what's open right now, and call the one that fits your client. The timestamp on every listing means you're never working off stale information.
- Filter by county, city, tier (1–5), gender, and specialty (MH, TBI, Memory Care)
- See SNF discharge pipeline entries (no patient names) alongside open beds
- Every listing shows when it was last updated — the facility's phone number is right on the result

Your beds, on your terms
You know your availability better than anyone — now you're the one who publishes it. Post your open beds once and every coordinator in California sees exactly what you have, the moment you save it. No more answering the same phone call 20 times a day.
- Post open beds for Tiers 1–5, male and female tracked separately
- Add notes coordinators actually need (private room, hospital bed on site)
- Takes about 2 minutes — from any device
For SNF discharge planners
Your discharge list, finally moving
Patients ready for placement shouldn't sit on a spreadsheet only you can see. List them once and CCAs across the network can start matching — without you making a single call. Patient names stay with your team; CCAs only see what they need to match.
- List patients ready for placement: tier estimate, gender, managed care org (MCO), target discharge date
- CCAs see the pipeline without patient names
- Your team manages everything from one shared view
