Atlas Senior Living Partners with Curana Health to Deliver Value-Based Care Across 35 Communities

Birmingham, Alabama and Austin, Texas (July 25, 2024) – Atlas Senior Living, a leader in senior living communities across the Southeast United States, has partnered with Curana Health, a leading provider of value-based care for senior living residents, to offer comprehensive healthcare services to its residents.

The collaboration will provide residents of Atlas Senior Living’s 35 communities with concierge-style access to Curana’s primary care services in their residences and dedicated clinic spaces, including: routine preventive care, urgent care, palliative care, and 24/7 access to clinicians. Additionally, Curana clinicians will offer medication reconciliation, phlebotomy services, coordination of on-site imaging, and overall coordination of care.

Atlas Senior Living’s communities will also be participating in Curana’s Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) and High Needs REACH ACOs, which allow participating communities to earn shared savings by improving quality of care and reducing unnecessary costs for their residents. Curana will also begin offering the Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience (GUIDE) Model at Atlas Senior Living communities in July 2025. GUIDE is a Medicare alternative payment model designed to support individuals living with dementia and their caregivers through increased care coordination and improved access to services.

This all-encompassing partnership with Curana Health underscores Atlas Senior Living’s commitment to delivering comprehensive, resident-centered healthcare through innovative solutions.

“Atlas Senior Living is dedicated to growth and innovation while maintaining a steadfast focus on our residents’ well-being,” said Scott Goldberg, Co-Founder, President, and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at Atlas Senior Living. “It is always advantageous for us to collaborate with a company such as Curana, whose vision aligns well with our culture and values. By integrating Curana Health’s expertise in geriatric care and proactive health management, we aim to empower our residents with the highest standards of healthcare, ensuring their comfort and quality of life.”

Curana Health has extensive expertise supporting senior living communities and skilled nursing facilities in their adoption of value-based care models, and its partner organizations have seen meaningful improvements in resident health and satisfaction. One saw a 55 percent decrease in falls resulting in injury and a 25 percent increase in resident happiness, while another saw a 43 percent reduction in polypharmacy. On average, Curana’s partner organizations have experienced a more than 39 percent reduction in unnecessary hospitalizations.

“We are honored to collaborate with Atlas Senior Living in providing world-class healthcare services to their residents,” said Mark Price, CEO at Curana Health. “Curana Health is dedicated to transforming the lives of our nation’s seniors through value-based care models, which provide a consistent model of care, reduce staff burden, create a more personalized care experience, and result in high-quality clinical outcomes.
