Curana Health Expands Align Senior Care to Iowa Starting in 2027
Curana Health announced the expansion of its Align Senior Care Institutional Special Needs Plan (I-SNP) into Iowa, set to serve nursing home and assisted living residents across 41 counties beginning January 1, 2027. Enrollment will open on October 1, 2026, with benefits tailored for senior housing populations through coordinated care models that align providers, facilities, and health plans around shared goals. The initiative is part of Curana Health's broader commitment to Iowa’s aging population, where it already supports over 196 senior living communities. The I-SNP emphasizes on-site support, provider collaboration, and improved access for residents while reducing care fragmentation. Western Home Communities and other partners will be among the first to offer this new plan. As Iowa's senior demographic grows, Curana Health aims to enhance resident outcomes through integrated models of care that address clinical complexity in senior housing settings.
