(KY3) - A unique program offering specialized health care for seniors is the first of its kind in southwest Missouri. Although Jordan Valley Senior Care moved into a new building, the goal remains the same: to help seniors live safely and independently through their Program for All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly, or PACE, program.“It’s a huge support for families who don’t want their loved one to go into a nursing home but need a little extra support to do so,” said Jordan Valley’s executive director, Karen Rees. “And it can be really challenging and expensive to keep loved ones at home without the support of a program like PACE.” Jordan Valley Health’s PACE program works to help its elderly patients maintain independence while providing one-stop shops for any needs they may have at their care clinics 5 days a week. The new location is at the corner of Kansas and Grand.“Both the day center piece, which is kind of the hub of where our participants come to get care, but we also have all of the other community-based services: the primary care, we support all of their specialist care in the community, and then we can also provide in-home services,” said Rees.Jordan Valley opened its newest Springfield clinic at Kansas and Grand, and former U.S. Representative Billy Long was invited to check out the newly refurbished facility. “I was very impressed,” said Long. “I had never heard of PACE; I didn’t know Jordan Valley had done this.” “We are both the provider for our participants and their health plan. So we come together through an interdisciplinary team,” said Rees. “Everything from medical care, social work, therapy, and home care to surround older adults who otherwise would be in a nursing home. But with our support, they are able to stay in the community in the home that they love.” The PACE Program is typically funded through Medicare and Medicaid, and It’s estimated that 50 to 60 seniors use the center daily for services.To report a correction or typo, please email digitalnews@ky3.com.
