AdventHealth Well 65+ Brings Senior Care to Clearwater

AdventHealth Well 65+ Expands Access to Whole-Person Care for Clearwater Seniors

As people age, their health needs evolve. After age 65, healthcare should feel more connected, personal and supportive. Senior primary care focuses on the unique medical and lifestyle challenges that can arise in this season of life.

Clearwater seniors can access care designed just for them with the opening of our relocated AdventHealth Well 65+ Clearwater senior primary care clinic located on Gulf to Bay Boulevard.

Our primary care providers specialize in caring for Medicare-eligible patients, offering preventive screenings, chronic disease management and personalized health plans tailored to each patient’s goals.

“Senior primary care is about more than managing health conditions. We focus on building trusted relationships and helping patients feel supported, heard and empowered at every stage of life,” says board-certified primary care physician John Kapaniris, DO.

Health Care for Life After 65

This new location brings compassionate, connected care to the community, helping adults age 65 and older stay healthy, active and connected.

In addition to primary care focused on senior adults, our patients benefit from longer appointment times and a team-based approach that ensures their concerns are heard and addressed. Providers take the time to understand each patient’s health history, lifestyle and personal priorities, helping them develop a care plan that supports long-term wellness.

Whole-Person Care for Body, Mind and Spirit

At AdventHealth, care goes beyond treating symptoms. We focus on our patients’ whole health, including their mental and emotional well-being.

“I believe the best care starts with understanding each patient as a whole person. By focusing on prevention, communication and personalized care, we can help seniors live healthier, fuller lives,” says Dr. Kapaniris.

Senior mental health is a key priority. Many older adults face challenges like chronic illness, stress, substance use, loneliness or isolation — factors that can impact mental health. The team at our AdventHealth Well 65+ Clearwater clinic will work to identify and address these issues while connecting patients with the support they need.

If seniors require additional emotional support or counseling, services are available onsite, along with connections to local resources designed to strengthen overall well-being.

A Team-Based Approach to Better Health

One of the defining features of senior primary care at AdventHealth Well 65+ is its multidisciplinary care model. In addition to physicians and advanced practice providers, patients have access to social workers, care coordinators and other health professionals who work together to support their care.

This collaborative approach helps ensure that every aspect of a patient’s health is addressed, from preventive care and chronic condition management to medication guidance and lifestyle support. Patients also benefit from convenient services like onsite labs, same- or next-day appointments and access to their care team when they need it.

By coordinating care across a full network of specialists, the team can help seniors stay proactive about their health and avoid unnecessary hospital visits.

Building Connection in the Community

Whole health is more than regularly visiting your provider. Feeling whole also means staying connected with others. Our Community Engagement and Social Work teams regularly host events designed to bring seniors together and provide helpful resources.

These gatherings include group exercise classes like Zumba and Tai Chi, as well as Medicare lunch and learn events and classes on SNAP-Ed education that give community members opportunities to learn about their health and available services.

These programs help seniors stay active, build friendships and feel more connected to their community.

Supporting Seniors at Every Step

The opening of AdventHealth Well 65+ Clearwater reflects a growing commitment to meeting the health needs of older adults with compassion, expertise and convenience.

“My goal is to partner with seniors and their families to create a care experience rooted in compassion, education and shared decision-making, so patients feel confident in their health journey,” Dr. Kapaniris says.

For seniors looking for personalized primary care that supports the whole person, our new Clearwater clinic offers a welcoming start.
