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.

PACE Central Michigan Breaks Ground on New Houghton Lake Center

On April 24, 2025, PACE Central Michigan officially broke ground on its second Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) site, located at 120 Cloverleaf Lane in Houghton Lake. The new center marks a significant expansion of services for older adults in Roscommon, Crawford, Otsego, Ogemaw, Oscoda, and Missaukee counties, as well as surrounding areas. It aims to help seniors age in place with dignity and independence.

PACE Central Michigan’s expansion is made possible through partnerships with developer Bruce Dietz of Alpena, Architect Lance Bickell, Michigan Masonic Home, Isabella Bank, and the support of the PACE Association of Michigan.

PACE Central Michigan gratefully acknowledges a generous $250,000 grant from the Herbert H. and Grace Dow Foundation, which is helping make this critical expansion possible

Special recognition goes to the Houghton Lake Chamber of Commerce for their warm welcome, coordination support, and commitment to community connection.

Happy HR professionals day! Meet Barbie! 💙💚

Hi, my name is Barbie, and I’m the HR Specialist here at PACE Central Michigan. I’m proud to share that as of June 24th, I’ll be celebrating six years with PACE! It’s truly been an honor to be part of such an incredible team that works hard every day to serve our participants with dedication and care.

Throughout my time here, I’ve had the chance to grow both professionally and personally. I began my journey as the Medical Records Specialist/Quality Assistant and also took on the responsibility of recording minutes for Board meetings. When the opportunity came up, I transitioned into the role of Data Encounter Specialist. Later, when it was determined that the role was no longer needed, I moved into the Scheduler position, which also involved managing the pend report. I’ve also been actively involved in every audit we've gone through.

For the past three years, I’ve been in my current role—and I can honestly say I absolutely love it! It truly feels like the perfect fit for me.

Outside of work, my world revolves around my family. I have three grown children, two amazing sons and a beautiful daughter—as well as a son-in-law who is truly the best of the best! I’m also blessed with six wonderful grandbabies, ranging in age from 13 to 2. They are the light of this Mema’s life! The best feeling ever is having them run up to me yelling “Mema!” and wrapping me in a big ol’ hug—that kind of love is truly priceless. ... See MoreSee Less

May is Mental Health Awareness Month!

This month, we’re shining a spotlight on the importance of mental health for older adults. Taking care of your mental well-being is just as essential as taking care of your physical health. At PACE Central Michigan, we are committed to supporting our senior community in maintaining both their mental and emotional health.
🧠 Why It Matters:
• Mental health challenges like depression, anxiety, or dementia can affect older adults more than we realize.
• Social isolation and loss of loved ones can have a significant emotional impact.
• Regular mental health check-ins can help prevent or manage these concerns, leading to a healthier, happier life.
💙 Tips for Improving Mental Well-Being:
• Stay connected with family and friends
• Try relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation
• Engage in activities that stimulate the mind, such as reading, puzzles, or art
• Don't hesitate to talk to a healthcare professional if you're feeling overwhelmed
📞 We're here to help! If you or a loved one need support, reach out to us at 989-953-5800 or visit our office. You don't have to face mental health challenges alone.
