Centra PACE (Program of All‑Inclusive Care for the Elderly) is a program that provides comprehensive health care, including all wrap‑around services, to eligible participants. Eligible participants are 55+ and qualify for nursing home placement. They must be safe to live in the community with PACE support. Each individual enrolled will work with a team of caregivers to create a personalized plan of care based on their goals, values, and preferences. Individuals benefit from primary care/urgent care on site, transportation to and from appointments, center activities, prescription medication support, nutritional services, mental health support, rehabilitation and therapy services, dental, vision, meals, and more. Our intradisciplinary team works with participants in conjunction with their families and caregivers to allow participants to age in place rather than living in a nursing facility.
