The Benefits of PACE
By enrolling in AltaMed's PACE program, seniors gain access to a wide array of benefits:

Each participant receives an individualized care plan developed by a team of healthcare professionals, including physicians, nurses, therapists, and social workers. This plan addresses their specific needs and goals, ensuring they receive the care they require.
2. Coordinated Services
PACE provides a single point of contact for all healthcare services, ensuring seamless coordination of care. Participants have access to a dedicated care team that works collaboratively to manage their healthcare needs, reducing fragmentation and improving overall outcomes.
