JACKSON, Michigan—Elara Caring, the full-scale, multi-state home health provider of clinical and personalized services across the patient continuum, has executed a lease on a new, state-of-the-art office space in Jackson, Michigan—a site that will serve as Elara’s regional headquarters. In selecting the Jackson location, which triangulates between Battle Creek, Ann Arbor and Lansing, Elara is deepening its Midwest presence where it is expanding the delivery of value-based services, and committing itself as a partner in the revitalization of downtown Jackson.
While home care providers are struggling to meet demand nationwide, the need is particularly acute in Michigan where steep reductions in reimbursement rates for state-funded at-home services have forced many provider organizations out of business, leaving vulnerable patients without care.
The new Elara location, at 209 East Washington Avenue, consists of 18,509 square feet with 12,000 square feet of contiguous expansion space and offers onsite daycare and catering. The five-year lease began August 1, 2023, and includes a five-year extension option. The official ribbon-cutting event takes place Tuesday, Oct. 17 from 9:30-10:30 a.m.
“At Elara, we live by the mission of expanding access to high-quality, compassionate, individualized home health wherever patients and clients call home,” said Ananth Mohan, chief operating officer at Elara. “While we’ve long provided care in Jackson and Michigan at large, we’re recommitting ourselves to the needs of individuals in these communities, which have too often gone underserved.”
Elara said it remains committed to the Jackson community and will continue to provide local patients and clients with the same skilled home health, hospice, palliative and personal care services residents of Jackson rely on.
