💜 Participant Spotlight: Bobbi's PACE Journey 💜

"PACE has truly changed my life."

Bobbi shares that participating in the PACE program has helped her overcome many challenges and gain the strength and confidence needed to remain active in her community. Through physical therapy, she has improved her strength, mobility, and overall ability to function independently.

Beyond her physical progress, Bobbi says PACE has played an important role in supporting her emotional, social, and overall well-being. Having help with healthcare coordination and insurance-related concerns has reduced stress and allowed her to focus on what matters most: her health and quality of life.

Bobbi is especially grateful for the compassionate staff who make her feel valued, respected, and heard. From home-delivered meals to meaningful social opportunities at the Day Center, she appreciates the care and support she receives each day.

"The staff truly listen, care about my well-being, and make me feel important."

At PACE Northeast Michigan, we're honored to walk alongside participants like Bobbi and help them live healthier, more independent lives. 💙

🎃👻 A new seasonal guest has arrived at the Day Center!

Participants and staff at PACE Northeast Michigan recently came together to create a festive scarecrow as part of our fall and Halloween activities. This hands-on project encouraged creativity, collaboration, and plenty of laughter along the way.

At PACE, activities like these help foster meaningful connections, engagement, and a sense of community while celebrating the changing seasons. Our scarecrow is now proudly on display, bringing a little extra fall spirit to the Day Center.

💙 September is PACE Month! 💙

This month, we proudly celebrate PACE – the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly and the incredible people who make our mission possible every day.

At PACE NEMI, we believe caring for our participants means so much more than providing healthcare. It means building relationships, listening, supporting independence, sharing laughter, offering comfort, and treating every participant with the dignity, respect, and compassion they deserve.

Behind every service we provide is a dedicated team working together to ensure our participants receive the care and support they need to continue living safely and independently in their communities.

PACE is more than a program—it is a commitment to caring for the whole person. From medical care and therapies to transportation, meals, social activities, and so much more, every detail is centered around one important goal: helping our participants live their best possible lives.

Throughout PACE Month, we look forward to sharing more about who we are, what we do, and most importantly, the amazing participants and staff who make the PACE family so special.

💙 Because at PACE NEMI, caring isn't just what we do—it's who we are. 💙

New research shows integrated care is making a meaningful difference for seniors—especially those with complex needs. 🏥💙

A major HHS-backed study highlights the powerful impact of the PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) model, showing fewer hospital visits, lower emergency care use, and improved outcomes overall. As healthcare continues to evolve, models like PACE demonstrate the value of coordinated, team-based care that keeps seniors healthier and living independently longer.
