What are the responsibilities and job description for the Intake Coordinator | PACE position at MIDLAND CARE CONNECTION INC?
Midland Care Connection
Midland Care Connection is a not-for-profit, community-based organization dedicated to helping older adults and seriously ill individuals stay independent and supported in their homes. Established in 1978, we offer a full continuum of care, including hospice, palliative care, home health, grief and loss counseling, and our signature PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) program. Our mission centers on "meeting individual needs through innovative care solutions," and we serve people across multiple counties in northeast Kansas.
PACE Program
The PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) program is designed to help older adults remain safely in their homes rather than entering nursing facilities. It provides complete medical care, rehabilitation, medications, transportation, social services, and supportive therapies—all coordinated by an interdisciplinary care team. Participants receive personalized care plans tailored to their unique needs, along with access to a PACE center for social activities, meals, and clinical services. By integrating medical and supportive care under one program, PACE helps seniors maintain independence, improve quality of life, and continue living in their communities with dignity.
PACE Intake Coordinator
The PACE Intake Coordinator is often the first point of contact for individuals interested in joining the PACE program. They help guide potential participants and their families through the intake process, gather necessary information and documentation, coordinate assessments and appointments, and work closely with the interdisciplinary team to determine eligibility and readiness for enrollment. They also help ensure the enrollment process is organized, timely, and compliant with PACE requirements while providing a positive experience for participants and their families.
