With many senior housing operators searching for innovative ways to improve health outcomes, leverage leading technologies, and maintain financial stability, value-based care models have emerged as a transformative opportunity. This topic took center stage at the AgeTech Connect Summit 2025's "Starting With Value: Transforming Care for Better Outcomes” session. Moderated by CDW's Liz Cramer, PTA, RAC-CT, and featuring Curana Health's Michael Emery, MBA, FNP-C, Inspiren's Brian Geyser, APRN-BC, MSN, and Galerie Living's Joshua Peterson, the panel explored how value-based care models and related technologies are helping communities across the country navigate emerging industry trends and prepare for future success.

As skilled nursing operators continue to face rising financial pressures, many are turning to value-based care as the key to achieving long-term financial stability.   In the latest installment of Skilled Nursing News’ RETHINK podcast, Curana’s own Amy Kaszak and Cantex’s Armando Guzman take a deep dive into this topic, discussing all things value-based care and why operators who think of it as something in the future need to realize the opposite is likely true: they’re probably already in it.   Listen to the full episode here: https://bit.ly/3LVGvZY.

Recently, Curana’s Amanda Rucienski, NP, sat down with WKYT-TV for a great conversation about these services at Atlas Senior Living's Legacy Reserve at Fritz Farm.

Remote patient monitoring is revolutionizing how operators deliver proactive, personalized care across the senior housing continuum. But what devices are best for each level of living, and how do they actually move the needle on patient health and overall wellbeing? Curana Health's Michael Emery, MBA, FNP-C and Covenant Health Network (CHN)'s Scott Motyka will be answering these questions and more during their LeadingAge Annual Meeting panel. Moderated by Curana's Jeff O'Berry, the session will explore how two types of RPM technologies prevent health complications and unnecessary emergency room visits, reduce staff burden, and improve resident/family satisfaction. We hope to see you there!
