Overview

Mission

PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) is an alternative to nursing home placement that features comprehensive, coordinated care for a senior’s medical, social and physical needs - allowing them to stay independent as long as possible while also providing peace of mind for family members and caregivers.

What it reported doing in 2024

The washtenaw pace is a program of all-inclusive care for the elderly (pace), an innovative model of long -term care that offers disabled and frail older adults the option of remaining at home with dignity and independence. The focal point of the washtenaw pace is the day center, where participants socialize and received many of the services offered by the washtenaw pace. The major services include: primary medical care and nursing care, all medications, rehabilitative therapies, nutrition services, therapeutic recreation, and much more. Additionally, the washtenaw pace offers in-home services including nursing, personal care, meal preparation, light housekeeping, home delivered meals, and caregiver respite. The washtenaw pace also covers all medical specialists, laboratory and x-ray tests, and hospitalization when necessary. In addtion, transportation is provided to the day center and to medical appointments as needed. Participants are assessed as needing nursing home level care, but are able to live safely in the community with pace services.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 97% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and expenses are high relative to revenue.
