Fallon Health has opened a new Summit ElderCare alternative care setting in Framingham.
Worcester insurer Fallon Health has opened doors to its new Framingham older adult care location, further expanding the system’s reach into the MetroWest region.
Situated at 405 Cochituate Road, the new care center is part of Fallon’s Summit ElderCare program, the system’s iteration of the government-funded Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly. PACE offers medical and social services to those 55 and older throughout Massachusetts and beyond.
Fallon’s Summit ElderCare site offers program participants services including physical and occupational therapies and provides shower and laundry facilities. The site features three exam rooms, lab and office space, and a conference room for care planning, according to a Tuesday press release.
The new center will provide adult day health services in collaboration with neighboring programs including Dia Feliz Adult Day Health Center, a Framingham-based multi-lingual health support services organization.
“One of the things that makes PACE so unique is our team-based approach to care. At our new location, participants and their families will have local access to many of our dedicated specialists, spending less time on the road and more time focused on their health and well-being,” Kristine Bostek, senior vice president of PACE programs, said in the release.
Summit ElderCare care centers offer medical care, social support, adult day health, and health insurance to seniors living with chronic care needs with many services offered in-home.
Established in 1995, Fallon Health’s PACE operates under the supervision of the Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
Fallon’s Framingham site marks the system’s sixth Summit ElderCare PACE center in the state, in addition to Leominster, Webster, Worcester, Lowell, and Springfield,, according to the program’s website.
With 129,688 members, Fallon Health is the seventh largest health insurer in Central Massachusetts when ranked by total Massachusetts members as of Dec. 31, 2023, according to data compiled by WBJ’s Research Department.
