Baptist Health celebrated the 10th anniversary of its Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE). Baptist Health PACE is dedicated to providing comprehensive medical and social services that allow older adults to maintain their independence in the comfort of their own communities.
Since its inception, Baptist Health PACE has served as an alternative to nursing home care. By coordinating a wide range of health and wellness services, the program ensures that seniors can age with dignity, surrounded by the familiar faces and neighborhoods they love.
Baptist Health PACE offers a comprehensive suite of services designed to provide all-inclusive care, including:
-An Interdisciplinary Team: A group of healthcare professionals who coordinate every aspect of a participant’s care.
-Medical Care: Direct access to primary and specialist care.
-Transportation: Reliable transport to and from medical appointments.
-Daily Activity Assistance: Support with the essential tasks of daily living.
-Social Engagement: Opportunities for seniors to connect and thrive within a social community.
-Medication Management: Ensuring participants receive and take their medications safely.
Over the last decade, the program has expanded its reach to serve six Arkansas counties: Pulaski, Saline, Lonoke, Faulkner, Garland, and Hot Spring.
