We Keep Seniors Healthy, Engaged, and Happy At Home

Mission Statement

Our mission is to provide a full range of coordinated health and wellness services to qualified older adults in their homes, the PACE center, and the community so they may remain safely at home for as long as possible.

Innovative Care for Aging Individuals

Our goal is to provide our senior community members with the care, medical treatment and support they need to achieve the highest quality of life – while remaining independent for as long as possible. Our team of elder care experts offers an alternative to nursing home placement that features comprehensive, coordinated care for a senior’s medical, social and physical needs, while also providing peace of mind for family caregivers.

Why choose PACE?

PACE is flexible in the way it delivers health care and related supports to seniors. This means your PACE services are customized to meet your needs. Your PACE team will provide care and support in your home, in the community, and at the PACE center as needed.

PACE is unmatched in its highly effective method of helping seniors remain in the community and out of nursing homes. This wrap-around health care model combines the supports and expertise needed to help you continue to be successful at home.

PACE is here for you. By design, PACE becomes a path to a greater quality of life for seniors. It brings together a team of health care and resource professionals dedicated to helping you feel better and live better.

Join our PACE family today!

Sharing some more photos from our amazing Participant and Family Day. We had so much fun celebrating PACE month and sharing the joy with over 160 people who came to gather with us.

Here is a thank you from our Executive Director:

Our PACE Central Michigan team brought a vision to life — our first-ever Family Fun Day!

This event began as a seed of an idea from Lindsay Young over a year ago. Her vision to create a space where participants, families, and staff could simply enjoy each other’s company has now blossomed into a new tradition!
To every team member, every participant, and every family member who showed up — THANK YOU. Your smiles, laughter, and presence made the day unforgettable. These are the moments that remind us of what PACE is all about ~ community

Here’s to many more days of fun, laughter, and family — together.
With gratitude~

Our Seniors Have Spoken!

Congratulations to Chloe Brown – voted Employee of the Year by the participants of PACE Central Michigan!

Chloe is the face of PACE — the first smile you see when you walk in and the voice you hear when you call. But she’s so much more than that. She wears many hats, takes on countless roles, and somehow manages to keep everything moving while still making time to care for each person who crosses her path. Chloe is patient, kind, and full of heart. She’s the calm in our lobby during the chaos of the day.
Our participants said it best: PACE just wouldn’t be the same without Chloe. She does it all, and she does it with heart.

Thank you, Chloe, for being the bright spot in so many days. We are so proud to celebrate you!

Hear what Chloe has to say about this achievement:
"I am incredibly honored to receive the Participant Choice Employee of the Year award! Over the past year and a half, it has been a true privilege to work alongside such an extraordinary group of individuals. Getting to know each participant - their personalities, sense of humor, and life stories - has brought so much joy and meaning to my work. I value every interaction, whether it's a phone call, a brief hello or goodbye, or a simple smile. These moments are the highlight of my day and the heart of why I love what I do. The participants are the reason I come to work each day with a smile, and I feel truly fortunate to be a part of their lives. I love celebrating their wins, admire their resilience, and genuinely consider it a gift to support and connect with each and every one of them. It truly feels like I have 269 best friends!

This award is extra special because it came from those who matter most to me. Thank you for making me feel seen, appreciated, and part of something so special. Your kindness, humor, creativity, and hearts inspire me every single day. I feel incredibly lucky to be part of this community. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for this honor. "
