A West Lafayette resident recovering from multiple health conditions says Franciscan Health’s Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly has helped make it possible to remain active and independent while receiving coordinated medical and social support. The program, known as PACE, provides comprehensive services for eligible adults 55 and older, according to a community announcement. Participants receive medical care coordination, transportation, meals, rehabilitation services and opportunities for social engagement designed to help them continue living in the community. JoAnne Collins moved from Wisconsin to West Lafayette in August after spinal surgery, a hip replacement and ongoing arthritis-related health challenges. Looking for support beyond what she could manage on her own, she enrolled in Franciscan Senior Health and Wellness, the Franciscan Health PACE program serving the Lafayette area. “PACE takes care of setting up all my doctor's appointments and visits to specialists,” Collins said. “It really is a good thing, and going to the day center gives me a chance to socialize with other people. I really like it. The staff listens to us and they are so kind. They help us physically, mentally and socially.” Collins attends the Lafayette PACE day center twice a week for about five hours each
