New Community's Residents Can Benefit from Easy Access to Primary Care & Nurse Visits, Testing and More
ALEXANDRIA, Va. and RICHMOND, Va., June 4, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Benchmark at Alexandria, a new assisted living and Mind & Memory Care community, and Curana Health, a leading provider of value-based care for senior living residents, today announced they're making it easier for Benchmark's residents to take advantage of on-site visits with medical professionals, in-home healthcare and testing services, wellness clinics and healthcare coordination.

Benchmark at Alexandria residents can choose to enroll with Curana Health and take advantage of services like concierge-style access to Curana's primary care physician and nursing team for routine preventive care and urgent care visits, lab work, x-rays, ear cleanings, injections, and blood pressure checks in the privacy of their apartment or in the community's wellness center. With a unique focus on prevention and care coordination, Curana Health can also coordinate care with a resident's current specialists and other care teams and offers 24/7 access to advanced practice providers specializing in geriatric care.
Benchmark at Alexandria residents can decide to see Curana Health's primary care physician or continue to keep their own. Curana's services will be billed to residents' insurance plan, including Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans.
