InnovAge to Bring PACE to Seniors in Terre Haute, IN, Area
State PACE expansion to make customized care available to 79% of eligible seniors
DENVER, Nov. 11, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- InnovAge Holding Corp. (the “Company” or “InnovAge”) (Nasdaq: INNV) today announced that it has received approval from the state of Indiana to develop a Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) to serve the greater Terre Haute, IN, area. This expands the Company’s national footprint and establishes PACE access for eligible seniors in and around Terre Haute.
InnovAge has identified a prospective location for its Terre Haute PACE center, which is projected to open in fiscal year 2024. The Company expects to eventually enroll over 600 seniors while creating more than 100 local healthcare positions. Based on InnovAge analysis of U.S. Census Bureau Data, InnovAge estimates that there will be approximately 3,000 PACE-eligible seniors in its service area by 2026.
“InnovAge appreciates the State of Indiana recognizing the value that PACE offers to its seniors,” said InnovAge President and CEO Maureen Hewitt. “As the pandemic continues, our focus and mission remain the same: providing care and support to frail seniors across the country. PACE is the best way to do that and we look forward to bringing the program to more older adults in the state. We are eager to partner with the many local organizations in the Terre Haute area to support its frail seniors.”
InnovAge is one of four PACE providers approved to develop new programs in Indiana, while one existing provider will expand its services. According to the National PACE Association, four PACE providers currently serve approximately 400 seniors in Indiana. This is about one percent of the estimated 35,200 PACE-eligible seniors in the state, based on InnovAge analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data. The same analysis shows these new and existing providers will make PACE available to approximately 79% of eligible seniors in Indiana.
