Redwood
Coast PACE (Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly), a program
of the Humboldt Resource Center, has opened its new location in
Arcata at 3798 Janes Road, on the Mad River Community Hospital
campus.
The
Arcata center – along with the PACE centers in Eureka and Fortuna –
offers a full range of medical, social, and supportive services
designed to meet the unique needs of local seniors who have complex
medical needs and their families. Services include primary medical
care, nursing, social work, rehabilitation therapies, transportation,
nutritional support, and social activities – all coordinated by an
experienced team dedicated to person-centered care.
The
program’s expansion reflects Redwood Coast PACE’s continued
commitment to supporting older adults in Humboldt County with
high-quality, comprehensive care that helps them live safely and
independently in their own homes.
“We
are thrilled to open our doors in Arcata and expand access to this
vital program,” said Barbara LaHaie, director of Redwood Coast
PACE. “The PACE model of care empowers older adults to continue
living in the communities they love while receiving the care they
need. This new location allows us to better serve participants in
northern Humboldt County. We warmly invite community groups,
organizations, and individuals to join us and the Arcata Chamber for
a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday, June 6th
at 1:00 p.m. at our new location.”
The
PACE care model is nationally recognized for helping seniors age in
place while reducing hospitalizations and long-term care admissions.
Eligible individuals must be 55 or older, live within the program’s
service area, and meet nursing home level of care requirements, but
prefer to live at home.
Enrollment
is now open at the new Arcata location. Those interested in learning
more about Redwood Coast PACE services, eligibility, or touring the
new center can call (707) 443-9747 or visit www.humsenior.org.
