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.
