Westminster Communities of Florida Opens First On-Site Primary Care Clinic in Orlando Life Plan Community through Joint-Venture Partnership with AllyAlign Health

Clinic offers safe, convenient primary care for all community residents and team members

ORLANDO, Florida–Westminster Communities of Florida (Orlando, FL), a faith-based not-for-profit organization focused on enhancing the lifestyles and independence of older adults, and AllyAlign Health (Richmond, VA), a care management company focused on improving care access and quality of life for residents in senior living communities, announce the opening of an innovative new primary care practice, Align Senior Clinic at Westminster Towers, in downtown Orlando. The Align Senior Clinic is a joint venture dedicated to providing on-campus primary and preventive care services for residents and team members of Westminster Towers. Align Senior Clinic is the practice’s first site in Orlando and opened its doors on March 17, 2021.

Designed with input from the Westminster Communities of Florida leadership team, the clinic offers a spectrum of services to address the varying needs and multiple levels of living of residents. “The convenience that will come from this clinic and providing on-site care and coordination within our community will bring peace of mind for residents and their family members,” said David Randazzo, Executive Director of Westminster Towers.  With options for visits to be conducted in-home, in the clinic or via telehealth, the Align Senior Clinic can provide everything from as-needed sick day visits, labs, and vaccinations to primary care visits and care coordination.

Align Senior Clinic, located at Westminster Towers at 70 West Lucerne Circle in Orlando, Florida, will be open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m.  to 4:30 p.m. Walk-ins will be welcome for all residents and team members of Westminster Towers.

“Close coordination with the Align Senior Clinic practitioners, our healthcare team, attending physicians, and our Resident Experience teams allows residents to benefit from an integrated approach.  The Align Senior Clinic is an important example of how we are responding to the changing needs and expectations of residents and furthering the Mission of Westminster Communities of Florida,” said Terry Rogers, Chief Executive Officer of Westminster Communities of Florida.

As a result of the launch of the clinic, Westminster Towers residents will now also have the option to add a Nurse Practitioner and Medical Concierge to their existing care team by enrolling in either the Resident Concierge Program or the Align Senior Care health insurance plan. The Resident Concierge Program, designed for those who need extra care support, is a care coordination program offered through the clinic for a monthly fee. Align Senior Care is a provider-owned Medicare Advantage plan tailored to the unique needs of long-term care residents at Westminster Towers. “We like knowing that our residents who need a little extra support are able to get immediate access to health benefits and care when they need it most,” said Randazzo.

Align Senior Clinic at Westminster Towers is the first site of several planned for the Joint-Venture Partnership between Westminster Communities of Florida and AllyAlign Health, and other Life Plan Communities within Westminster Communities of Florida are planned for potential growth in 2021. AllyAlign Health operates similar models in other states, partnering with leading senior housing organizations to bring onsite care for all residents and offering concierge practice and specialized Medicare Advantage Plans for residents with more complex care needs.
