Beginning January 1, SCAN Health Plan and The Springs Living will offer co-branded products for seniors in Clackamas and Washington counties. This partnership integrates medical care with daily senior living support to help residents manage their health at home.
Why it matters
By providing medical care directly in senior living communities, the partners aim to bring services closer to home for local residents. The primary goal of this integrated model is to reduce the frequency of hospitalizations and intensive care unit stays for seniors.
The new care model is designed to facilitate consistent clinical oversight, featuring routine in-home podiatry visits scheduled every two weeks. These findings represent a new collaborative approach, with the effectiveness of the model still under initial evaluation.
