Center For Elders’ Independence PACE (Program of All Inclusive Care for the Elderly) provides high-quality, affordable, integrated healthcare services to vulnerable seniors promoting autonomy, quality of life, and the ability for individuals to remain living within their communities.
Participants in PACE receive individually centered care plans, including attention to home care needs, nutrition, oral health, physical and cognitive functioning, along with medication delivery, caregiver support, and transportation to and from all levels of care. This focus on the health of individuals has proven value and clinical outcomes, fulfilling core aspects of health care’s value equation.
The wellbeing of our participants is greatly influenced by social and environmental factors. These factors include the physical environment where the participant lives, access to needed services like food and transportation, and social support for physical and emotional needs. These factors affect the participants’ clinical conditions and influence treatment options. When resources are available to overcome negative social determinants of health, they can have a significant impact on population and individual health outcomes. Many times, a participant requires support services to stay in their home. At CEI PACE, a variety of services are available: adult day care, housekeeping, meal delivery, transportation, and social services.
Establish in 1982 as an Adult Day Healthcare Program, CEI transitioned in 1992 to a Program of All Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE). Five PACE Centers are located in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. Two new Centers are opening Q1 2025, in Livermore and El Sobrante.
