Not every older person can or wants to live in a care home — but that can leave family and caretakers concerned about them living safely at home.

A solution: Mission Health’s CarePartners PACE (Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly). Designed for people age 55+ who need home support, the program provides community-based care + services for people who might otherwise need nursing home-level care.

The result: Seniors retain their independence while being safely looked after in the comfort of their home.

See care services + eligibility.*
