Saint Joseph PACE provides physical, occupational and speech therapies to recover and rebuild your functionality. Our priority is preserving our participants’ independence , and we offer different methods and equipment to regain your abilities needed for day-to-day living. Specific goals of rehabilitation therapy vary for each participant, and our team of providers coordinate to make sure your treatment is tailored to your needs. 

Transportation is a covered benefit for Saint Joseph PACE participants. Having the means to safely travel to and from our center and specialty medical appointments is an essential part of your care. Our trained drivers will help you make the most of your experience, providing the appropriate accommodations. Each van is equipped with electric lifts for wheel-chair-bound and physically disabled participants. 

Though your physical health is important to us, our care plans are focused on treating the whole person- in mind, body and spirit. Our Certified Recreational Therapists seek to create a fun and interactive experience for all participants with hobbies and exercises, intended for your overall wellness. Different activities in our program might include:

Our full range of care includes social services, offering participants and families the support, resources and opportunities they need to make the best possible decisions. Social workers play a fundamental role on your team of health care professionals. Whether it is advocacy, counseling, caregiver education or access to financial or legal guidance resources, you are not alone. Our skilled social workers are in your corner, partnering with you on your path to wellness. 

We will assess your nutritional needs and develop meal plans to improve your overall well-being and decrease risk for disease. Evaluating each senior’s dietary needs, our registered dietitian works closely to ensure our participants have access to nourishing food in their home. Nutritious breakfast and lunch meals are provided at the Saint Joseph PACE Center. Home-delivered meals can be arranged as needed. 

In-home support helps to promote independence for each participant. With personal care aides visiting your home, you can relax without the stress or challenge of completing regular tasks. Our compassionate aides are here to help, keeping your safety in mind. Whether it is bathing, getting dressed, laundry or light housekeeping, we will assist with day-to-day activities as part of your comprehensive care. 

Saint Joseph PACE offers spiritual care to treat the whole person – in mind, body and spirit. Finding meaning, purpose and hope can be part of your spiritual journey. We seek to support, understand and provide resources for you and your family, as you navigate difficult circumstances. With the support of chaplains and spiritual companions, we provide peace of mind and improve quality of life, treating our seniors with a full-circle view. 

Specialty medical care including dental, podiatry, optometry, and audiology services and supplies is available by our network of medical specialists. Referrals for specialty care must be ap­proved by the Medical Director and interdisciplinary team as being medically necessary.
