InnovAge Celebrates Grand Opening of Orlando’s First PACE Center in Partnership with Orlando Health
PACE Program Provides Highly Coordinated, Personalized Senior Care
ORLANDO, Fla., May 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (“InnovAge”) (Nasdaq: INNV), an industry leader in providing comprehensive healthcare programs to predominantly dual-eligible seniors through the Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), announced the grand opening of its new center in Orlando, Florida, located at 8410 South Orange Blossom Trail.
The new InnovAge center is a joint venture with Orlando Health, a healthcare system broadly recognized for its exemplary care programs, services and extensive community outreach and support. Orlando Health has partnered with InnovAge to help magnify the impact and extend the reach of PACE services for eligible seniors so they may live independently for as long as safely possible. InnovAge’s high quality healthcare is delivered at no cost to seniors with Medicare and Medicaid coverage.
The 32,000 square foot Orlando state-of-the-art senior healthcare center has the capacity to serve approximately 1,300 seniors and provides integrated PACE healthcare and support services through a personalized approach that encompasses transportation, in-home care, medication management, dental care, specialty care, physical, occupational, and speech therapy, exercise, social services, meals and nutrition, socialization, recreational activities, and more.
“We are thrilled to provide exceptional, robust healthcare and support to Orlando seniors in a highly coordinated manner, inclusive of transportation, nutrition, socialization and much more,” said InnovAge President and CEO Patrick Blair. “These comprehensive services are a big relief to seniors and their loved ones, but also to our health care partners and their staff. We believe the partnership with Orlando Health will support our efforts and create incremental value to participants and the community.”
Orlando Health Senior Vice President of External Affairs and Community Relations Andy Gardiner emphasized the need for InnovAge’s highly focused, personalized approach to senior care. “Our mission at Orlando Health is to improve the health and quality of life of the individuals and communities we serve. Orlando Health’s success is not just a result of our outstanding teams, but also because of our community partnerships. We are excited to weave InnovAge, which has more than 30 years of success operating PACE programs, into the fabric of our mission.”
Today’s grand opening was attended by local lawmakers, healthcare providers, community partners, and area families who toured the new center, sampled nutritious food, and interacted with staff who shared senior healthcare tips and community resource education.
