2025 Skilled Nursing Facility Industry Outlook

2025 Skilled Nursing Facility Industry Outlook 

The highlights:

  • A 4.2% increase in Medicare Part A payments to SNFs for FY 2025 provides essential financial support amid rising operational costs.
  • CMS is taking steps to reform prior authorizations in response to growing concerns over Medicare Advantage denials.
  • Occupancy rates are recovering and projected to return to pre-pandemic levels, while staffing shortages remain a major concern.
  • Technology will continue to play an increasingly significant role in driving operational efficiencies.

The skilled nursing facility (SNF) landscape continues to evolve in 2025, shaped by regulatory changes and challenges, rising demand, continued workforce shortages, and technological advancements. As the industry adapts to post-pandemic realities, several key trends are emerging that will impact patients and providers in 2025.

Medicare Rate Increases

In a welcomed development for SNF operators, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) implemented a 4.2% increase in Medicare Part A payments to SNFs in Fiscal Year (FY) 2025. This adjustment provides much-needed financial support for facilities facing rising operational costs.  

Medicare Advantage Denials Draw Scrutiny

The U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations published a report last year on the growing denial rate for post-acute care for Medicare Advantage (MA) beneficiaries. Their investigation found that the largest MA insurers are disproportionately leveraging the prior authorization process to deny stays in post-acute care facilities. In an effort to improve access, CMS has taken steps to reform prior authorizations and hold MA and Part D plans more accountable for delivering high-quality coverage.  

SNF Value-Based Purchasing Program Focuses on Hospital Readmissions

Through the SNF Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) Program, CMS awards SNFs incentive payments for improved quality of care. For FY 2025, performance in the SNF VBP Program is centered around a single measure of all-cause hospital readmissions. Facilities that excel in preventing readmissions will be well-positioned to maximize their incentive payments in 2025. By leveraging ACP’s evidence-based clinical programming and advanced rehab technologies, SNFs can identify at-risk patients earlier, implement targeted interventions, and reduce readmission rates.  

Occupancy Trends Up

The industry is seeing encouraging signs of recovery in occupancy rates. According to recent data from the National Investment Center for Seniors Housing & Care (NIC), senior housing, assisted living, and independent living occupancy rates reached 86.5% in Q4 2024 and are projected to return to pre-pandemic levels this year. This growth and a decline in operational bed inventory suggest a strengthening demand for SNF services. 

Workforce Challenges Continue

Staffing challenges remain a concern for many SNFs in 2025 and beyond. The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) predicts a deficit of nearly 80,000 full-time RNs in 2025, a concerning shortage that could continue into 2037. With increased demand for post-acute care, the industry must embrace creative staffing solutions and care delivery models to bridge this gap. Through robust training programs and ongoing clinical support, ACP helps facilities maximize their workforce capabilities. By equipping staff with the latest techniques, ACP enables SNFs to maintain high care standards despite staffing constraints.  

Leveraging Technology to Drive Efficiency

In 2025, providers will continue to turn to technology to help solve some of the industry’s most pressing challenges. As SNFs seek solutions to enhance operational efficiencies, reduce costs, and maintain high-quality care, platforms like ACPlus will lead the way. By interconnecting patients, devices, and EHR systems, ACPlus can streamline clinical workflows and drive better outcomes. Through the app, clinicians can conduct objective assessments to inform care planning. Our latest module within the app, ACPlus Respiratory Assessment (ARA), transforms respiratory care by helping SNFs identify patients with pulmonary dysfunction and generating treatment recommendations – demonstrating how sophisticated technology can both improve patient outcomes and drive efficiencies.

Moving Beyond Aerobics: The Benefits of Cycling in Rehabilitation

Moving Beyond Aerobics: The Benefits of Cycling in Rehabilitation  

While it’s been proven that cycling is an effective rehab tool for building aerobic capacity and improving strength1, its benefits extend far beyond—from improving gait and core stability to boosting mental health and cognitive function. Keep reading to learn why cycling is a key component of many of our evidence-based clinical programs and how to incorporate it into your rehab program to enhance patient outcomes and quality of life. 

1. Preparing for Gait Training  

Cycling is an excellent pre-gait activity that helps patients improve their motor control and reciprocal patterning for leg movement and arm swing. It also helps improve gait characteristics like limb symmetry, step length, speed, and distance. Cycling can also reduce patients’ risk and fear of falling, setting them up for more successful gait training.  

2. Improving Task Performance Ahead of ADL Training  

Cycling can significantly improve task performance by enhancing muscle activation and timing, which is crucial for self-care activities. For patients with conditions like Parkinson’s disease, cycling can help reduce upper extremity tremors and improve movement and balance.  

3. Boosting Core Strength & Power 

Cycling effectively engages core stability muscles, including the abdominals, back muscles, pelvic floor, and diaphragm. By activating spinal stabilizers, it can promote upright posture and balance, which are essential for daily activities and reducing fall risk.  

4. Reducing Pain & Physiological Stress 

Cycling aids autonomic nervous system (ANS) modulation and can be a helpful pain management tool for patients experiencing hip and knee pain. It can also significantly decrease systolic and diastolic blood pressure.  

5. Decreasing Anxiety & Elevating Mood 

Cycling can have a profound impact on mental health and cognitive function. It decreases anxiety and increases happiness by boosting endorphins, which help elevate mood and sleep quality. By increasing blood flow to the brain, it can also improve cognitive function, including coordination, planning, and memory.   

6. Reducing Abnormal Muscle Tone & Stiffness 

Active and motorized active-assisted rhythmical cycling facilitates the body’s relaxation response, which can decrease abnormal muscle tone and improve patients’ range and quality of movement.  

Supercharge Outcomes with Biofeedback & Virtual Reality

Moving Beyond Aerobics: The Benefits of Cycling in Rehabilitation

Shortwave Diathermy: A Drug-Free Approach to Pain Management

The highlights:

  • Shortwave Diathermy (SWD) is a therapeutic treatment that uses high-frequency electromagnetic waves to generate heat within body tissues, providing non-invasive, drug-free pain relief. 
  • SWD can effectively manage several types of pain, including joint, post-operative, post-traumatic, and chronic pain. It also increases local blood flow, relieves muscle spasms, decreases joint stiffness, and helps treat chronic inflammatory conditions. 
  • ACP’s OmniSWD system offers built-in clinical protocols, making it easier for clinicians to use. It achieves therapeutic thermal doses with 25% greater efficiency, saving time and improving patient outcomes. 

Pain impacts more than 30% of long-term care residents. In addition to reducing quality of life, pain can limit patients’ ability to perform activities of daily living (ADLs), restrict their ability to socialize, and lead to depression.1 Effectively managing pain is essential to helping patients maintain a high quality of life, improve mobility, and promote healing. Innovative technologies like shortwave diathermy (SWD) can be a valuable tool for clinicians seeking to deliver effective, non-invasive, and drug-free pain relief. In this post, we’ll explore what shortwave diathermy is, how it works, and how it can be a valuable pain management tool. 

What is Shortwave Diathermy?

SWD is a therapeutic treatment modality that uses high frequency pulsed electromagnetic waves to generate therapeutic heat within the body tissue. SWD can be applied for subthermal or thermal effects, penetrating deeply enough to reach muscles, joints, and soft tissues without overheating the skin. In addition to providing an analgesic effect, the heat also increases local blood flow, providing a safe and effective means of addressing pain and inflammation stemming from common conditions like contractures, slow-healing wounds, joint stiffness, and more.

The Benefits of Shortwave Diathermy in Pain Management

SWD offers several indications for common types of pain, including:

  • Joint2
  • Post-operative3
  • Post-traumatic4
  • Chronic5

In addition to providing effective pain relief, SWD can:

  • Increase local blood flow6
  • Relieve muscle spasms7
  • Decrease joint contractures/stiffness8
  • Increase extensibility of collagen tissue9
  • Help treat chronic inflammatory conditions10
