Interpretation and Translation Services

All vital documents will also be provided in the participant’s requested primary language. These services are provided to PACE participants free of charge.

Filing a grievance.

Complaints or grievances

All team members at Care Guide Partners PACE share responsibility for your care and your satisfaction with the services you receive. Our grievance procedures are designed to enable you and your family to express concerns or dissatisfaction so we can address them. Should you wish to file a grievance at any time, we will assist you or your representative. PACE services will continue during the grievance process.

A grievance is defined as a complaint or concern that, you or your representative can make either written or verbally expressing dissatisfaction with the delivery of services or the quality of care. You may also file a grievance if you believe your member rights have been violated.

If your grievance cannot be resolved satisfactorily, grievance options can be pursued.

How to file a grievance

Grievances can be filed in person, by phone, in a written letter, or online.

You may discuss your grievance with any Care Guide Partners PACE team member. The team member will ensure you receive written information on the grievance process and that your grievance is documented. Be sure to give complete information so they can help you resolve your grievance quickly.

You may file a grievance by phone by calling 270.600.2580, TTY: 270.600.2589. You may also use these phone numbers to ask questions or follow up on the status of your complaint.

If you wish to register a written grievance, please send a letter to:
