Visit Us for the Care You Need, Stay in the Home You Love!

Have you recently visited mom, dad, or any other of your adult loved ones over the holidays, only to realize that things are not the same as when you saw them last? Or have you seen subtle changes and you’re suddenly realizing that additional help is needed, and quickly? On the other hand, maybe your loved one is struggling to remember things. Maybe they have had a health decline and struggle with coordination of their care. As we are aware, or will realize as we ourselves age, Mom and Dad may sometimes keep the difficulties of aging to themselves, because they take much pride in being able to care for themselves. They may dread someone else helping them with the activities that they once were able to manage on their own. Our older adults may feel threatened by the thought of losing their independence, but what if we told you that Elderhaus PACE is here to help your loved ones maintain independence to the highest degree possible with supportive services?

PACE IS A DIFFERENT KIND OF CARE

Elderhaus is a non-profit PACE organization located in Wilmington, NC, that serves residents of New Hanover and Eastern Brunswick counties. Elderhaus is a member of the EveryAge family, a Newton, NC-based, non-profit ministry offering senior housing and services.

We all want the best care for our aging loved one, but getting that care can be frustrating. If you have an aging loved one, you know what it’s like to drive your loved one from appointment to appointment, to manage all of their medications, to deal with doctors who don’t talk to one another, and you struggle with leaving your loved one at home, alone and without the supervision, company, and interaction they want and need.

It doesn’t have to be this way. Thousands of families across America have found a different and better kind of care for their aging loved ones—PACE. And what PACE families have experienced is a program that provides and coordinates all the types of care your loved one needs, so you don’t have to place them in a nursing home.

PACE care includes medical and personal care, rehabilitation, social interaction, medications, transportation, and more, all in one place so your loved one can remain living at home.

PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) is a Medicare and Medicaid program. You can also pay for PACE privately if you do not have Medicare or Medicaid.

WHO CAN JOIN PACE?

• You’re 55 or older.

• You live in a PACE organization’s service area.

• Your state certifies that you need a nursing home-level of care.

• You would be able to live safely in the community with the help of PACE services.
