Western Home Welcomes On-Site Healthcare
We’re excited to share some big news that will directly enhance the lives of residents across all Western Home Communities locations. We've officially partnered with Curana Health®, the nation's largest provider of primary care services in senior living. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in making high-quality, convenient healthcare more accessible than ever before — right here in our communities.
Healthcare That Comes to You
Through this partnership, residents across all levels of care — from independent living to skilled nursing — will now have access to on-site primary care services. That means fewer trips across town and more time focused on living well.
Services include:
Preventive care and chronic condition management
Sick visits and injury care
Psychiatric medication management
24/7 access to care teams
On-site coordination for blood work and imaging
Comprehensive care coordination
And for those who already have a primary care provider, Curana’s services can act as an urgent care-style complement — offering added peace of mind when it’s needed most.
New Clinic Coming to Cedar Falls
In addition to in-residence care, we’re thrilled to announce that a brand-new healthcare clinic will be opening at Jorgensen Plaza for Well-being in Cedar Falls. This clinic will serve not only residents but also staff and their adult family members — making healthcare even more accessible to the Western Home family.
A Shared Commitment to Better Care
“After many conversations, we chose to partner with Curana Health due to their expertise in the senior and family practice space,” said Kris Hansen, CEO of Western Home Communities. “Our goal is to provide convenient, high-quality clinical services for those we serve and our employees. We feel that with Curana Health and Western Home Communities working together, we can meet that goal and beyond.”
Curana Health brings a proven track record of success. In communities they serve, they’ve helped achieve:
39% reduction in hospital readmissions
30% fewer falls
39% fewer instances of polypharmacy
95% resident satisfaction
Innovation with a Purpose
This partnership is the latest example of how Western Home Communities continues to lead the way in innovative, resident-centered care. From pioneering Iowa’s first small house nursing cottages for dementia care to offering all-private nursing home rooms, our focus remains on providing the best quality of life possible.
As Tasha Janssen, Vice President of Operations at Curana Health, puts it:
“Together, we’re reshaping the future of senior care—delivering more personalized, proactive health services that help individuals stay healthier, happier, and in the communities they call home longer.”
