Integrated healthcare that powers every stage of senior living

Curana Health® partners with Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) to deliver coordinated care that supports residents at every stage of senior living.

Curana Health delivers seamless healthcare for residents across independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing. Our dedicated Care Teams collaborate closely with your community staff to keep residents healthy, well-informed, and supported – even as their care needs evolve.

CCRCs promise residents stability, comfort, and lifelong support – and Curana Health delivers the healthcare foundation that makes that possible. By combining on-site medical care, behavioral health, and palliative services under one connected model, we make care proactive, not reactive. Residents receive consistent, high-quality healthcare within their own community, while your teams gain a trusted clinical partner focused on outcomes, satisfaction, and operational ease.

“The number one question that we get from our clients is, what kind of healthcare services do you have? What doctors do you have? And we are thrilled to be able to say that we have Curana Health right on site, that we offer care services. It is the ability to have preventative care. It's a differentiator from other communities.”
-Wendy, Senior living sales consultant
“Curana Health has been an amazing partner ever since we started. We've been able to build relationships with the nurse practitioners, the physicians, the different clinicians in the behavioral health area, and have that open communication all the time. There's always dialogue that we are able to work through. We're able to collaborate if we have any questions, we're easy to group together and come to a good conclusion of what we need to go forward with. Just having them available and the relationship that we’ve built has been so impactful.”
-Samantha, Assisted Living Administrator
“Curana Health has made my life easier just in the collaboration and the open communication that I have with them day to day. I am able to reach out to either the medical director or the nurse practitioner, and we’re able to collaborate to enhance the residents’ care on a day-to-day basis.”
–Tami, Skilled nursing facility administrator
“This job is special because of the people. We have a team that supports one another, leaders who encourage growth, and patients who feel like family. It’s a place where flexibility, learning, and compassion all come together.”
-Kelly, Nurse practitioner
