Built for the Facilities That Care for Pennsylvania’s Most Vulnerable Residents
You Have Waited Long Enough.
We hear it from facility directors and Directors of Nursing across Pennsylvania every day.
Weeks pass waiting for a swallowing evaluation to be scheduled. A medically complex resident sits on a modified diet — or worse, on tube feeding — while the paperwork moves slowly through a system that wasn’t built with your patients in mind.
And when the evaluation finally happens? The report takes days to arrive. The clinician is gone before your SLP can ask a single question. Your team is left piecing together recommendations without the clinical context they need.
Scopera was built because that is not good enough.
Facility Types
Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs)
Your Residents Deserve Answers at the Bedside — Not a Trip Across Town. For medically complex SNF residents — many of whom are bedbound, cognitively impaired, or on isolation precautions — transport to an off-site imaging center is not just inconvenient. It is often unsafe, costly, and completely avoidable.
- No transportation costs or staffing burden
- No disruption to therapy or nursing schedules
- Faster diet upgrades — reducing the cost of modified textures and thickened liquids
- Reduced aspiration pneumonia risk
- Same-day documentation for care planning and MDS
Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs)
Residents of CCRCs deserve to receive clinical evaluations in the comfort and privacy of their own home — not in a sterile hospital setting. Scopera conducts FEES evaluations in your residents’ rooms or wherever they feel most at ease.
Inpatient Rehabilitation Centers
In a rehabilitation setting every day matters. A delayed swallowing evaluation means delayed diet advancement — and delayed diet advancement means delayed discharge. Scopera schedules within 48 hours and delivers reports within 24–48 hours.
Long-Term Acute Care Hospitals (LTACHs)
LTACH patients often present with the most medically complex dysphagia profiles — ventilator dependence, tracheostomy, severe neurological impairment, and significant aspiration risk. Scopera’s clinician has 11 years of experience with complex swallowing disorders.
