Hosparus Health President and CEO David Cook said the company’s new project Care Guide Partners PACE will be a valuable healthcare resource for the community.
“PACE is an acronym that stands for Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly, and it really is all-inclusive,” Cook said. “From covering all of their medical needs to transportation to the adult day, primary care, restorative therapies, socialization, and just fun, so we’re really excited to bring this additional level of support to folks in the community.”
Cook discussed the new program while serving as the keynote speaker for the Hardin County Chamber of Commerce’s first membership luncheon of the new year. He said the ultimate goal of the program is to help elderly people maintain independence.
“It’s just really a great solution for individuals who are facing serious illness that want to continue to live at home but are struggling to be able to do that and may not have the financial resources necessary to hire in-home support,” Cook said.
Cook said Hosparus is in the final stretch of getting approval from the state and the U.S. Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which should be completed around the first of March. More information will be made available at that time, but people interested in learning more can still reach out.
“We haven’t launched our website right now, but you can go to the sister organization Hosparus Health, and you can get some information there,” Cook said. “Postings as far as jobs because we’re hiring for some of these positions right now will be available there as well, and you can reach out through the Hosparus Health website with any questions you might have.”
The PACE center will be located at 109 Buffalo Creek Drive in Elizabethtown.
Will PACE furnish rides to doctor visits?
Good Morning Donna
If the participant has a doctors appointment outside of the PACE center and needs transportation we would provide transportation.
I would very much enjoy working or joining PACE. Need something to occupy my time besides sewing,crocheting, or watching to boob tube!
Depending on the position that you are looking for, we are having a hiring event Friday January 19, from 4-6pm and Saturday January 20 from 10am-2pm. If you are interested bring your resume and stop by the PACE center.
