GrapeTree Expands Healthcare Staffing Services into 7 New States

Healthcare staffing looks different from one community to the next, but the challenges are often familiar: maintaining coverage, supporting staff, and ensuring residents continue to receive quality care.

For 26 years, GrapeTree Medical Staffing has helped healthcare facilities navigate those challenges with dependable staffing support and a network of experienced healthcare professionals.

GrapeTree is bringing its proven staffing model to nursing homes and assisted living communities across seven new states. We're excited to share that healthcare facilities in Colorado, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia can now access GrapeTree’s reliable solutions.

Now Serving Colorado, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia

GrapeTree Medical Staffing is expanding its services into seven new states, bringing a more structured, accountable approach to healthcare staffing for nursing homes and assisted living communities. With decades of experience and an extensive network of nursing and allied healthcare professionals, GrapeTree supports facilities with coverage that is not only consistent, but dependable from the moment a shift begins.

Whether the need is per diem support, local assignments, or long-term travel coverage, facilities now have access to a single partner capable of supporting it all.

From Chaos to Control: A Smarter Way to Manage Staffing

Facilities are often forced to piece together coverage from multiple sources, leading to gaps in communication, inconsistent quality, and more time spent managing vendors than supporting residents. At the center of GrapeTree’s approach is its Facility Portal; a centralized platform designed to give facilities full visibility and control over their staffing.

Instead of juggling spreadsheets, messages, and multiple systems, schedulers can:

• View their entire schedule in one place

• Post shifts in seconds

• Track coverage in real time

• Access provider profiles, credentials, and documentation instantly

When a shift is posted, qualified professionals are notified immediately, helping facilities secure coverage faster without the usual back-and-forth.

Over time, facilities can build a bench of preferred professionals to create more consistency and familiarity within their teams.

Accountability Starts with the Employment Model

One of the biggest differences in GrapeTree’s model comes down to how professionals are employed. While many staffing platforms rely on independent contractors, GrapeTree employs its professionals as W-2 employees.

That distinction matters.

It allows for:

• Active performance management and coaching

• Greater accountability and oversight

• Reduced compliance risk for facilities

Facilities aren’t left navigating contractor-related challenges alone. They have a partner that can step in, address issues, and maintain clear expectations across every shift.

Experienced Professionals, Ready from Day One

Staffing isn’t just about filling shifts — it’s about who is walking through the door. GrapeTree maintains strict experience requirements for its nursing and allied professionals, ensuring they are prepared to step into new environments, adapt quickly, and provide safe, confident care from the start.

Because when it comes to resident care, there’s no room for guesswork.

One Partner. Total Coverage.

Many agencies specialize in only one type of staffing support.

GrapeTree brings all of it together:

• Per Diem Shifts for immediate, short-term needs

• Local Assignments for consistent, ongoing coverage

• Travel Assignments for longer-term stability when local options are limited

Instead of coordinating across multiple agencies, facilities can rely on one partner to support their full range of staffing needs. Communities under an ownership group can even take it a step further to unify their staffing program with a GrapeTree Managed Solutions partnership.

As staffing needs evolve, facilities have additional flexibility. GrapeTree does not charge a Talent Acquisition Fee (TAF) when hiring one of our healthcare professionals directly, eliminating a common barrier that can make long-term workforce planning more costly and complicated.

What This Means for Your Facility

When staffing is working the way it should, it doesn’t feel chaotic or reactive.

It feels:

• Predictable

• Organized

• Manageable

Shifts are filled with qualified professionals. Schedules stay intact. Teams aren’t stretched thin trying to compensate for gaps. Plus, leadership can focus less on putting out fires and more on supporting staff and residents.

Now Available in Your Area

Healthcare facilities across Colorado, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia now have access to a staffing model built around consistency, accountability, and real operational support.
