About PACE Place
PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) is a unique and innovative program that aims to keep frail and elderly adults in the community safe and independent at home for as long as possible. All PACE participants meet the nursing home level of care but can remain in the home they love with the support of the PACE interdisciplinary team (IDT).
The PACE Place opened its doors to the northeast Florida community in March of 2020 and serves select zip codes in Duval and Clay counties. At the PACE Place day center, participants can receive clinical services, therapy, meals, recreational activities, and personal care. In the home, PACE can provide skilled nursing and home health aide support, and some home-modification services deemed appropriate by the IDT to support participant safety. PACE also offers care coordination services via scheduling and transportation to/from outside specialist appointments.
The PACE Place is owned by Community Hospice and supported by Alivia Care, Inc. via shared services. The PACE Place falls along the continuum of care offered by Alivia Care, Inc. It embodies a unique model of all-encompassing care that allows frail elders in our community to age safely within their homes.
