How it Works

The social workers at St. Paul’s PACE advocate for your needs and provide case management services to help you and your caregiver navigate your health. Social workers are part of the interdisciplinary team, or care team, that coordinates your plan of care, managing the ongoing relationship between your care team, you, and your family.

Daily Needs
From filling out paperwork and taking care of bills to meeting the requirements of living in your home, our social workers assist you as needed. They can connect you with San Diego supportive services like food banks and transportation companies. Having even a little help every so often makes your life better and easier and gives out-of-town family members peace of mind.
