Alexian PACE | Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly in Chattanooga, TN
Ascension Living Alexian PACE is a community-based program whose purpose is to serve the frail elderly residents of Hamilton County with a healthcare model including senior home care, adult daycare and specialized geriatric medical care.
PACE is a coordinated health and social services program that enables participants to remain in their own homes and communities rather than moving to nursing homes. It is a unique system of managed care which includes services in the home, at the PACE center, and if necessary, in the hospital or other medical facility. PACE serves the frailest older adults with top quality healthcare and helps people age with dignity at home.

Senior Health Care
Through a team made up of physicians, nurses, medical social workers, health aides, transportation providers, rehabilitation therapists, dietitians and others, an individually tailored care plan is determined for every participant. Prevention and wellness are emphasized, through comprehensive, coordinated, person-centered care.
All services must be approved by the PACE team. Cost for unauthorized or out of network services may be the responsibility of the participant. Ascension Living Alexian PACE is the sole service provider and guarantees access to services, but not to a specific provider.

Aging with Dignity in a Home-Based Choice
We help older adults age at home with dignity while providing support to caregivers, so they can work and rest.
Nurturing Environment
You want the best care and most loving environment for your family member, but maybe you’ve realized that you can’t do it all yourself. It is easy to wear yourself out by caring for the physical and supervisory needs of someone else, and there is often no time to think about their social needs. At all ages and physical needs, social interaction is an important part of wellness.
Alexian PACE pairs medical care with social activities and meals in a coordinated way that is designed to promote health and well-being while preserving the participant's community residence, family relationship, and lifestyle. Social interaction in an adult day center is an important aspect of health and wellness for frail seniors. Ascension Living Alexian PACE encourages older adults to be involved with art, games, music and enjoying meals with friends.

Why Choose PACE
Coordinated Care and Geriatric Experts
Once a participant is enrolled in the program, Ascension Living Alexian PACE provides all necessary health care services. Most care is delivered in an adult day health care center where participants see their doctor, receive therapy, visit with friends and more. The geriatricians at PACE coordinate primary care, specialist care, hospitalizations, medicine, and therapy, doing away with the confusion that can occur with multiple providers.H4402_webcare_CMSapproved 04.18.2017
