About Community PACE at Home
Community PACE at Home is a Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) — a fully integrated, community-based care model designed to help frail older adults remain safely at home rather than moving to a nursing facility. PACE participants receive comprehensive medical, personal care, and social services coordinated by a dedicated Interdisciplinary Team (IDT).
Our Home Health Aides and CNAs are the hands and heart of our program. By providing compassionate, skilled personal care in participants' homes, you play a direct and irreplaceable role in helping older adults maintain their dignity, independence, and quality of life. If you have a heart for serving seniors and a commitment to excellent care, we want to hear from you.
