For Physicians — Opuluxe Tailored Nursing | Post-Discharge RN Coverage

How to refer

Three steps.

1

Refer the patient

Call our direct line, fax a one-page referral, or submit the secure form on this page.

Phone: (561) 206-4092 · Fax: (561) 660-9093

2

Clinical intake

A registered nurse reviews the referral, confirms feasibility, and calls the family within the hour during business hours (same-day otherwise).

We do not require completed paperwork to start the conversation.

3

RN at the bedside

We match a credentialed nurse to the patient's clinical needs and place them in the home — typically within 24 hours of the discharge order.

Discharge summary and ongoing care notes available to your office on request.

Clinical Leadership

Who you're speaking with when you call.

Every referral is triaged by a named clinician, not an answering service. Below is the person accountable for clinical operations.

Danielle Simpson

Founder & Chief Executive Officer

More than ten years at the bedside across intensive care, step-down, home infusion, and concierge-nursing settings. The clinical demands of the ICU and step-down — high acuity, rapid escalation, meticulous documentation — paired with the technical fluency of home infusion and the relational demands of concierge care — discretion, continuity, and steady family communication — together inform how Opuluxe is run.

Every referral that reaches Opuluxe passes through Danielle personally. She takes the first call from your office, oversees the clinical match, and stays in the loop through the first shift. If something needs attention after hours, she is the one paged.

Representative Cases

Three de-identified placements.

Each reflects the kind of coverage we provide in the post-discharge window. No PHI; no patient-identifying details.

Post-TAVR

76-year-old patient discharged to Jupiter following transcatheter aortic valve replacement. RN at the bedside within six hours of the discharge order. Daily vitals, groin-site monitoring, anticoagulation adherence, and coordination with the referring cardiology practice through week six. Uneventful recovery; transitioned off 24/7 coverage at the family's request at week four.

Post-Orthopedic

68-year-old patient discharged to Palm Beach Gardens after bilateral total knee arthroplasty. 12-hour overnight RN coverage for the first two weeks, stepped down to aide-level day coverage per the surgeon's protocol. Pain-pump management, DVT-prophylaxis monitoring, and daily physical-therapy handoff. Patient cleared at the six-week visit.

Post-Oncology

54-year-old patient discharged to Stuart following complex abdominal surgery with a drain in place. 24/7 RN coverage for ten days, then day coverage through chemotherapy initiation. Drain output tracking, wound care, antiemetic management, and direct communication with the oncology nurse navigator. Coverage ended when the patient returned to outpatient status.

In-Home Care Management

71-year-old patient with limited mobility in Vero Beach on a standing physician order for monthly metabolic panel and urinalysis. RN draws labs and collects specimens at the bedside, couriers them to the practice's preferred lab, and routes results back to the ordering provider — sparing the patient transport, the family the logistics, and the practice the no-show. A quiet but high-utilization service for medically fragile and concierge clientele.

Provider FAQ

What your office usually wants to know.

How do I refer a patient?

Call (561) 206-4092, fax a one-page referral sheet to (561) 660-9093, or use the form on this page. Phone is fastest — no paperwork is required to open a case.

What is your typical time from referral to first shift?

Same-day placement is common when the referral arrives before 2 p.m. Otherwise, within 24 hours of a confirmed discharge order. If we anticipate a delay, we say so on the first call.

Do you communicate back to the referring physician? How often?

Yes. We send a brief written confirmation when the nurse is placed, and a plan of treatment is sent within the first 72 hours. Beyond that, ongoing communication is calibrated to your preference — some practices want weekly summaries, others only want to hear from us on clinical changes. Tell us which and we'll match it.

What happens on weekends and holidays?

Our direct line is staffed 24/7 by clinical personnel. Placement windows on weekends and holidays are the same as weekdays. We routinely handle Friday-afternoon-for-Saturday-morning requests.

How do you handle a clinical escalation?

The placed nurse escalates per established protocol: the clinical liaison is paged first, then the referring physician's office or the designated specialist. For anything suggesting acute decompensation, a call to 911 is made without delay. We document the escalation and share the record with your office on request.

What do I tell the family about cost before I refer?

Private-duty nursing is generally out-of-pocket; it is not typically billed to Medicare. You don't need to quote a rate — just let the family know a specialist will review cost transparently on the first call, before any care begins.

Do you accept patients who also have home health?

Yes, and it's common. Medicare-certified home health (intermittent skilled visits) and private-duty coverage (continuous in-home RN care) address different needs and work together well. We coordinate directly with the home-health agency to avoid duplicative visits.

How do you document care, and can I get the notes?

Every shift is documented in our electronic health recording system by the placed nurse — vitals, medications administered, clinical observations, and any communications with family or physician. With the patient's written authorization, we release notes to the referring office by secure fax or encrypted email.
