SNFists: Innovation in Post-Acute and Long-Term Care

May 7, 2025 | Insights

This report focuses on innovation and investment in provider groups that primarily care for patients in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs). Providers who specialize in practicing in SNFs are sometimes called “SNFists.” SNFists provide clinical care that can reduce hospital readmissions, shorten a patient’s length of stay, improve the likelihood of a successful community discharge, and reduce complications and safety events. We are tracking considerable interest in this sector from PE investors, and expect to see significant thesis-driven investment put into increasing the scale and operational sophistication of SNFist groups.

This report includes a detailed review of the operational and reimbursement landscape in which SNFists operate, a taxonomy and discussion of different types of SNFist groups, and observations on innovation opportunities in VBC, technology enablement, and multi-specialty and multi-site of care expansion.
