Hosparus Health affiliate Care Guide Partners will be hosting a community open house at its new William B. and Janet B. Schmidt PACE Center, located at 109 Buffalo Creek Drive in Elizabethtown.
Care Guide Partners says the open house will be an opportunity to share more information on the mission of PACE and to offer tours of the facility.
When discussing the PACE Center at the Hardin County Chamber of Commerce’s January luncheon, Hosparus Health President and CEO David Cook said the PACE Center 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.”
The ultimate goal of PACE is to allow individuals to continue to maintain independence by offering access to primary medical care, adult day programming, therapy, behavioral health, specialty services, meals, nutritional counseling, social activities, and more.
“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.
The facility will be named after William and Janet Schmidt following a donation from the Schmidt Family Foundation. Learn more about the March 27 open house and about the PACE Center by visiting Hosparus Health online.
