Deliver Transformative Patient Care & Adaptive Activities While We Run Your
APIE Charting, Care Plans, Activity Calendars & Billing Prep
Stop burning high-leverage clinical hours transcribing leisure interest assessments, formatting monthly memory care calendars, chasing physician orders for community outings, and struggling with MDS 3.0 Section F documentation. Sagedoer provides Managed Recreational Therapy Virtual Assistants supervised by a dedicated Project Manager at $0 management fees.
Why Recreational Therapists & Care Facilities Partner With Us
Your clinical value lies in facilitating therapeutic recreation, adapting sensory environments, and restoring patient autonomy—not entering survey scores into EMRs or calling transport vendors for adaptive sports outings.
APIE Documentation & SOAP/DAP Charting
Eliminate evening charting backlogs. We transcribe your recorded session dictations into standardized SOAP or DAP clinical progress notes, link functional SMART goals, and update care plans in PointClickCare, Epic, or MatrixCare.
Therapeutic Activity Calendars & Media
Deliver engaging, compliant programming. Your VA designs dementia-friendly, multi-track monthly activity calendars in Canva Pro, populates LifeLoop or Sagely resident portals, and formats printable daily schedule flyers.
Assessment Scoring & MDS 3.0 Intake
Ensure thorough baseline records. We score and enter standardized assessment instruments (CERT-Psych, CERT-Phys Dis, FACTR-R, Leisurescope, Idyll Arbor) and draft MDS 3.0 Section F customary preferences for nursing review.
Outing Logistics & Adaptive Equipment
Execute safe community reintegration trips. We coordinate accessible transportation, submit venue accessibility checklists, process community waivers, track adaptive equipment maintenance logs, and manage sensory room supplies.
CPT Billing Prep & Prior Authorizations
Protect reimbursement revenue. We assemble clinical justification packets for insurance prior auths, cross-check timed CPT codes (97530 Therapeutic Activities, 97150 Group Therapy), and verify signed physician treatment orders.
Dedicated Project Manager ($0 Fee)
Zero clinic micromanagement. Your dedicated Sagedoer Project Manager oversees daily VA execution, conducts second-tier HIPAA and formatting quality audits, and guarantees next-day delivery SLAs at no extra charge.
EMR Platforms, Activity Suites & Tools We Master
We integrate natively into your health system's electronic medical records, activity platforms, design suites, and secure portals.

What Recreational Therapists & Facility Directors Say
Real experiences from Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialists, inpatient rehab clinics, and memory care communities.
"In our 60-bed inpatient physical rehab hospital, our recreation therapists were spending 2 hours each evening writing SOAP notes and entering FIM scores. Our Sagedoer VA transcribes our audio dictations directly into Epic and formats clean SMART goals. It has completely eliminated overtime."
"Designing monthly dementia and sensory activity calendars in Canva and updating our LifeLoop app across 3 memory care buildings was eating up 15 hours a week. Our VA designs gorgeous high-contrast calendars and keeps our resident attendance logs spotless."
"The dedicated Project Manager is phenomenal. When state surveyors arrived unexpectedly to audit our MDS 3.0 Section F customary preference documentation in PointClickCare, our PM and VA had every resident interview indexed and verified. We passed with zero citations."
"Hiring a full-time in-house recreation therapy clerk in Seattle would cost $52,000+ plus health insurance. At $6/hour for full-time support, Sagedoer coordinates our adaptive ski and kayak outing logistics, tracks CPT 97530 billing units, and manages our equipment maintenance logs effortlessly."
