Are you feeling overwhelmed caring for an aging family member?
 Care Guide Partners’ PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) offers a better way to ensure your loved one receives the care they need while staying in the comfort of their own home. This nationally recognized program, approved by Medicare and Medicaid, combines medical care, social services, and daily support into one easy-to-manage solution.

What Services Does PACE Provide?

PACE takes care of nearly every need an older adult may have, including:

  • Regular doctor visits and specialty care
  • Physical, occupational, and speech therapy
  • Prescription medications and medical equipment
  • Healthy meals and nutritional advice
  • Transportation to and from appointments
  • Mental health support
  • Fun activities and social events to help seniors stay engaged

By organizing all these services in one place through the PACE Center, the program makes it easier for seniors to live independently — and for their families to rest easier.

A Family’s PACE Story: Finding Another Option

One Care Guide Partners PACE participant’s family member shared:

“Trying to get my mom into a nursing home was a frustrating, endless cycle. Finding Care Guide Partners PACE was a game-changer. They assessed her needs, helped her apply for Medicaid, and provided comprehensive care. Now, I can take care of myself, knowing she’s in good hands. The level of care, from medications to therapy, has been phenomenal. I would absolutely recommend this program to anyone in a similar situation.”

This story highlights how PACE meets families where they are, offering the resources they need to keep loved ones safe and supported at home.

How Does PACE Improve Quality of Life?

Research has shown how programs like PACE can make a big difference for older adults and their families:

  • Better health outcomes: Research shows[1] PACE participants experience fewer symptoms of depression and enjoy better overall health compared to those not in the program.
  • Addressing disparities: A 2022 study[2] highlighted that PACE helps reduce racial and ethnic disparities in healthcare by offering services often overlooked by other healthcare models, including dental care, transportation, and meals.

These studies show that PACE isn’t just about keeping seniors out of nursing homes, it’s about helping them live well at home.
