Linda Boone & Susan talked about Huron Valley PACE at Rotary Club of Ann Arbor North's luncheon on June 14th.
Linda said, "Huron Valley PACE is located in Ypsilanti, MI and serves older adults age 55 or older who have ongoing healthcare needs and live within our service area."
Linda explained, "PACE provides all the care and services covered by Medicare and Medicaid, as well as additional care and services regarded as necessary by the interdisciplinary team. PACE provides coverage for primary and speciality care, prescription drugs, medical transportation, hospital visits, dental care, medical equipment, home care, as well as physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and other services."
You can join PACE if you meet the following conditions:
- You are 55 years old or older.
- You live in the service area of a PACE organization.
- You are certified by the State of Michigan as meeting the need for the nursing home level of care.
- You are able to live safely in the community with the help of PACE services when you join.
Huron Valley PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) provides a welcomed alternative to nursing home care for participants. The PACE model of care allows seniors aged 55+ to remain independent in their homes and communities while receiving the integrated social, wellness, and medical care services aging adults require.
