Hospice Facility Consulting
Evolve Consulting Group provides expert bed-needs analysis, market assessment, and financial feasibility studies to help hospice organizations determine whether a GIP inpatient facility is needed, sustainable, and strategically viable.
What We Do
We equip hospice leadership with the data and analysis needed to evaluate the financial and operational viability of a new inpatient facility — before committing capital.
Rigorous assessment of market demand, demographic trends, referral patterns, and competitive landscape to determine whether your market can support an inpatient unit.
Pro forma modeling, revenue projections, cost analysis, and break-even assessment so your board has the financial picture it needs to move forward — or to wait.
Our full-scope engagement: bed needs + financial feasibility + strategic recommendations, delivered as a unified report your leadership team can act on.
Client Benefit
Every consulting engagement includes complimentary access to the Analytics Platform — so your team can continue running analyses long after delivery.
The Analytics Platform includes two purpose-built tools: the Bed Needs Analysis Tool (included with all engagements) and the Financial Feasibility Analysis Tool (included with Feasibility and Comprehensive engagements). Both are included at no additional cost, with access activated post-engagement for one year.

I had the wonderful opportunity of working with Cole Mullinax last year when he did a bed need analysis for Hospice of the Western Reserve. We had worked through three separate bed need studies over the past several years. The study developed by Evolve Consulting Group proved to be the most relevant and straight forward of them all. We found Evolve Consulting Group to be very affordable compared to others. We were provided with the thorough and “cut to the chase” hard line information we needed to make tough decisions.
Cole was personable, professional, responsive, and knowledgeable. I would be delighted to recommend his firm to any other hospice.

Our organization engaged Evolve Consulting Group to complete a bed needs assessment to determine whether our service area could sustainably support a General Inpatient Unit. From the beginning, their team demonstrated a strong understanding of hospice operations, patient flow, market dynamics, and the financial and clinical considerations involved in evaluating inpatient feasibility.
Evolve Consulting Group delivered a thoughtful, well-structured analysis that gave us meaningful insight into our market, our patient population, and the factors that influence inpatient unit viability. Their work was thorough, data-driven, and presented in a way that was both practical and easy for leadership to understand. They brought clarity to a complex decision-making process and helped us better evaluate both the opportunities and the challenges associated with pursuing a General Inpatient Unit.
What stood out most was their professionalism, responsiveness, and deep knowledge of hospice-specific strategy. I would confidently recommend them to any hospice organization seeking expert support with inpatient unit feasibility, bed needs assessments, or broader hospice growth strategy.

Our organization engaged Evolve Consulting Group to perform a comprehensive bed needs assessment to determine whether our service area could support the development of a General Inpatient Unit. This was an important strategic question for our organization, and we needed an objective, knowledgeable partner to help us evaluate the opportunity thoroughly.
In our case, the final recommendation was not to construct an inpatient facility at this time. While that was not necessarily the outcome we had hoped for at the outset, it was the honest and well-supported guidance we needed. Evolve Consulting Group did not simply tell us what we wanted to hear — they provided the clear, data-driven analysis necessary to make a responsible strategic decision.
That level of candor and expertise gave our leadership team confidence in the findings and helped us avoid a potentially costly investment that may not have been sustainable in our market. I would highly recommend Evolve Consulting Group to any hospice organization seeking expert guidance in bed needs analysis, inpatient feasibility, and hospice growth strategy.
