Colorado legislators speak from the heart about supporting programs that improve the lives of seniors, including PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly):
“This is something I've been really passionate about for a long time. My dad lived to be 101 years old, and so as his caretaker, I understand firsthand how important that is. You're ensuring our older Coloradans can live with dignity and purpose, where and how they choose to receive services.”
- Lt. Governor Dianne Primavera
“I think it's so important not to make (seniors) feel like they are insignificant. My parents were alone in California. They didn't have family around because we're scattered all over, and they didn't want to be a burden. I find what you're doing is just amazing -- really, really important for that sense of security with our seniors.”
- House Majority Leader Monica Duran
The InnovAge PACE team had the privilege of speaking with these empathetic leaders and many others during our recent visit to the Colorado State Capitol. We shared the PACE story and received meaningful feedback on the importance of our efforts to help seniors age independently, in their own homes, with a comprehensive program designed to provide connected care. Legislators were impressed to learn more about InnovAge PACE, including the fact that most participants are eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid, and enjoy PACE at little or no cost.
Our sincere appreciation goes out to Lt. Gov. Primavera and Rep. Duran for a day of productive and enlightening conversations!
