Senior health services
It’s hard to know how to best help a person who is aging. We want the best for them, but finding or giving the right care, and getting other resources to help can be difficult, overwhelming and tiring. Pressing concerns may include:
- How do I make sure medications are well managed?
- How do I get to all doctor appointments?
- How do I coordinate needed medical care?
- How do I keep from being lonely or bored?
- If I'm caring for a loved one, what do I do if I have to leave them at home alone? Who will look after them and keep them safe?
Your loved one may be able to get the care they need AND remain in the home they love. PACE (Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly) is a unique kind of care that has helped thousands of seniors continue living in the community.

Since beneficiaries can hire their care provider, this model allows families and those currently residing in the home to be paid as caregivers.
