PACE or Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly is a federal and state funded program that provides comprehensive, coordinated, and proactive whole-person care to help maintain and improve seniors’ health so they can live safely in their homes. HopeWest PACE provides home care, access to the day center and clinic, transportation to and from medical appointments, and activities to enhance the lives of patients and their families. This innovative program balances medical, emotional, physical, and social needs of seniors.

The Social Worker for PACE contributes the profession’s unique psychosocial perspective to the interdisciplinary evaluation, assessment, plan of care, ongoing services, and disenrollment processes that occur once PACE participants begin the intake process and continue with ongoing services. The Social Work interventions could include contact and education with the participant and their family, assessments, counseling, mobilizing resources, addressing mental health needs as they arise, ongoing case management, and advocacy to ensure patient needs are addressed. The Social Worker collaborates with the interdisciplinary team to ensure effective, efficient, and appropriate care in order to optimize the health status and quality of life of PACE participants. The Social Worker is knowledgeable regarding social systems and institutions, individual behavior, and will skillfully apply appropriate interventions to meet the needs of the participant and family.
