How it Works
A member of our St. Paul’s PACE transportation team picks you up from your home in the morning and brings you to the St. Paul’s PACE center and then transports you home in the afternoon. This allows you to enjoy the companionship of others while only being away from your home for a few hours.
You will visit our wellness center as often as is recommended by your care team. During your time in the wellness center, you can benefit from many of our social activities, receive physical or occupational therapy, or visit our medical clinic to address any nursing or medical needs you may have.
In addition to bringing you to our medical center, we also arrange field trips to fun locations around San Diego, because we understand that you may want to get out and enjoy what the community has to offer. This includes trips to popular places such as the beach, Balboa Park, and many other destinations that make for a wonderful day out. You can check with our schedule of events to see when we are taking field trips so you can join along.
The Benefits of St. Paul’s PACE Transportation
Our drivers recently won an award for “Best Service Providers” in a quality survey, and once you’ve experienced St. Paul’s PACE transportation services, you’ll quickly understand why. Your St. Paul’s PACE driver doesn’t just pull up in front of your home to wait for you, the drivers go up to your front door to assist you into the vehicle. If you’re in a wheelchair, we provide a state-approved, strapped-down/locked-in method that keeps your wheelchair securely in the vehicle, as safe as if you were riding in the seat with the safety belt on.
Courteous Staff
We hire and train courteous drivers who prioritize tending to your needs so that you will feel comfortable on your trip. We understand the importance of feeling safe and welcome when you’re traveling to our center or out on a field trip.
Fully Trained Drivers
Our PACE transportation drivers all have excellent driving records and have passed a rigorous training program that prepares them for all eventualities on the road. You can trust our drivers to react appropriately no matter the situation, ensuring that you can relax with full peace of mind while you’re in transit.
Special Services
If you require a specialty medical service that isn’t provided at our wellness center, (though most services can be provided on site), we will transport you to that location for your appointment and back to our center or your home. We will also provide an escort.
