Care Resources PACE

Despite the fact PACE has been around for more than 50 years, this nationwide model of care funded by Medicare and Medicaid remains, unfortunately, a well-kept secret.

We believe that needs to change so eligible older adults in West Michigan can take advantage of the all-inclusive services available to help them age with dignity and where we all want to be – in our own homes.

Community Outreach/Marketing Supervisor Veronica Horsley-Pettigrew was recently on WYCE's Community Closeup program to speak on this and more.

Imagine having a medical need, and instead of enduring a long wait at urgent care or the ER, you visit a clinic where you’re seen within minutes. You’re diagnosed and then provided everything from an IV to wound care to lab work to meds and more. And you don’t pay a dime.

It’s not make-believe. That’s the experience you get at our clinic as a Care Resources PACE participant. Call 800.610.6299 or visit CareResources.org to learn more.

We'd like to recognize Day Center Personal Care Attendant/Lead Allison VanZandt as our November RISE Above Award recipient! 🎉 She was nominated by her coworkers and selected by the “Recognize, Inspire, Shine, Exceed the Limits” Committee. Here’s what the committee shared:

Allison is an excellent communicator, and she provides excellent care. She assures participants and her fellow team members that she is there to help. One weekend while on call, she offered to go with an aide to a participant’s house after another called in. She never wavered from the care she gave to the participant, changing her weekend schedule to go back a second time to ensure everyone felt comfortable and supported.

Thank you, Allison, for putting the participant’s needs first and supporting your coworkers. We are lucky to have you on our team!
