Day Center Services
The PACE Day Center is central to the care model and provides a variety of medical, rehabilitative, and personal care services to participants. This may include recreational therapy, off-site activities, meals and snacks, nutritional counseling, social work, medical visits on-site, personal care, and rehabilitation. While participants are not required to attend the Day Center, it is highly encouraged to attend at least 1-2 days per week.

Home Health Care
By receiving care in the home, participants can meet their personal and medical needs while living independently. This includes personal care, meal preparation, medication management, and more. Care plans are consistently re-evaluated, so participants care needs and goals are met.

Medical Care
All primary care and specialty care services (e.g., preventive dental services, podiatry, cardiology, etc.) are provided to participants. The medical team develops a plan with each participant that supports their medical and care goals. The team monitors each participant’s medical care and treatment plan and works closely with specialty medical providers in many fields.

Rehabilitation
Therapists across several specialties are ready to work with participants to help them reach their goals. Rehabilitation services include physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and respiratory therapy. Walkers, canes, wheelchairs, and other medical equipment is available as needed.

Social Services
As an important part of each participant’s care team, social workers and care managers can help assess each participant’s needs and give them the support and independence to live well.

Transportation
Not being able to drive can be isolating and frustrating for aging adults. PACE coordinates transportation to and from the Day Center and medical appointments.
