PACE is ideal for seniors on
Medi-Cal
or a Medi-Cal/Medicare combination

Welcome to San Diego’s newest and most innovative medical and social care program for the elderly.

As we get older, we all want the best care for ourselves or for our aging loved one, but getting that care can be frustrating. If you have an aging loved one, you know what it’s like to drive your loved one from appointment to appointment; to manage all of their medications; to deal with doctors who don’t talk to one another; and you struggle with leaving your loved one at home, alone and without the supervision and interaction they want and need. And if you are the senior needing to coordinate your own care, it is almost impossible without transportation, long waits at doctor’s offices, restricted medications, no help with home care or personal needs. There are just too many hurdles.

St. Paul’s PACE is a different kind of care

It doesn’t have to be this way. Thousands of families across America have found a different and better kind of care for their aging loved ones – St. Paul’s PACE (Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly). And what these PACE families have experienced is a program that provides and coordinates all the types of care you or your loved one needs, so nursing home placement is no longer needed because PACE provides everything necessary to keep seniors at home.

This care includes:

• Transportation
• Primary Care Doctor
• Medications
• All specialty Doctors
• Home care services
• Physical and Occupational Therapy
• Senior Day Center and so much more!

And PACE services are all in one location, at our day center on Elm Street.

PACE is care that revolves around you

PACE was created as a way to provide you, your family, caregivers, and professional health care providers the flexibility to meet your health care needs and to help you continue living at home and in the community.

An interdisciplinary team of professionals will provide all of the coordinated care you need. These professionals are also experts in working with older people. They will work together with you and your family (if appropriate) to develop your most effective plan of care. Meals, physical therapy, home care, medication management …. The services from PACE are customized just for you!

At St. Paul’s PACE, there are no out of pocket fees or co-pays so you can access the care, services and medications that you need.

PACE provides coverage for prescription drugs, doctor care, transportation, home care, checkups, hospital visits, and even nursing home stays whenever necessary.

To the Staff of St. Paul’s PACE:

I would like to thank you for this wonderful program! Being here has made my life so much more exciting and rewarding. My health is much better due to the help and support of the wonderful medical team, my Doctor, the Physical Therapist and also the Dentist, Podiatrist and Optometrist.

I am grateful that as a PACE participant I continue to get all of the services I need, and I’m on Medi-Cal! I so enjoy the visits to the PACE center—from the kindness of your driver when he picks me up to the welcoming staff.

I have made many new friends at PACE. Everyone is just so friendly and good to me, I look forward to every visit.

Sincerely, Noellene
