Former SVP at Creative Solutions in Healthcare to drive next-gen AI innovation in skilled nursing reimbursement, boosting accuracy, revenue integrity, and provider competitiveness.

CoreCare, the leading AI-powered workflow platform for post-acute and long-term care providers, announced today that Kelly Roberts has joined the company as Senior Vice President of MDS Innovation & Transformation.

Roberts brings more than two decades of clinical reimbursement leadership to CoreCare, most recently serving as Senior Vice President of Clinical Reimbursement at Creative Solutions in Healthcare, the nation’s fifth largest skilled nursing operator. There, she oversaw reimbursement across more than 160 facilities, led systemwide MDS strategies, and founded one of the largest MDS leadership summits in the country.

At CoreCare, Roberts will lead the development of next-generation AI solutions designed to improve reimbursement accuracy, ensure compliance, and help skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) thrive in an increasingly complex environment. Her appointment comes as CoreCare’s revenue has more than doubled year over year, with its platform now powering intake, eligibility, and billing automation.

“Kelly’s leadership has always been rooted in collaboration,” said Gary Blake, President and CEO of Creative Solutions in Healthcare. “She worked hand in hand with our clinical compliance, operations teams, and leaders across every department to strengthen our systems and elevate how we serve. We celebrate her taking this next step, knowing she will bring that same spirit of partnership and innovation to the industry through her work at CoreCare.”

“I’m excited to be a part of the CoreCare team to lead this new era of AI-driven MDS technology and the possibilities it brings to improve accuracy, efficiency, and outcomes. Our goal is simple: support staff where they need it most - streamlining clinical reimbursement so they can focus on resident care,” said Roberts.

“Kelly is one of the most respected minds and leaders in skilled nursing reimbursement,” said Dennis Antonelos, CEO and Co-founder of CoreCare. “She’s lived the challenges operators face and knows what excellence looks like from the inside. With her leadership, we’re helping providers transform their operations with AI, capture more accurate reimbursement, and stay financially strong in today’s high-stakes environment.”
