Who We Are
FindABed was built by Austin Archer, whose family owns and operates two licensed AFC homes in Livingston County, Michigan. After watching social workers spend hours on the phone trying to find available beds for patients ready for discharge, we built the tool we wished existed.
We are not a referral agency. We do not charge social workers. We do not take kickbacks from providers. We built a neutral marketplace because the placement process was broken and we had a front-row seat to exactly how.

What We Do
FindABed is a two-sided marketplace connecting Michigan social workers, hospital discharge planners, and case managers with licensed care facilities — including adult foster care homes, assisted living facilities, memory care, skilled nursing, hospice, sober living, group homes, veterans housing, and more.
Providers update their bed availability directly. Social workers search in real time, filter by care type, insurance, and geography, and send referrals without a phone call. FindABed is free forever for social workers.
Why We're Different
Search ranking is never paid
Every provider appears in search results based on relevance and availability — not who paid for placement. This is a founding principle and will not change.
Built by operators
We run AFC homes. We know what providers need to manage census, and what social workers need to place patients quickly. The product reflects that.
HIPAA-aware by design
Client records are visible only to the social worker who created them and the provider receiving a specific referral. We apply minimum necessary standards throughout.
Our Mission
“Connect every Michigan patient with the right care setting — faster and transparently.”
