Catholic Charities: PACE

PACE, the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly, promotes the health, independence, and dignity of senior citizens.  PACE's mission is to enable frail older adults to live in their homes and in the community as long as medically and socially feasible.  It is a comprehensive healthcare program which includes an Adult Day Health Center, primary and specialty physician care, medications, rehabilitative therapy, personal care services, and transportation.  The majority of services are provided on-site with a focus on preventative care.

Loyola service learning students may interact with participants and assist in various activities.  They may share their own skills or talents with the group, or spend time with a participant one-on-one.   Interaction with volunteers is especially enjoyable for participants and helps participants maintain or improve their level of functioning in the greater community.
