Upon enrollment, participants receive all of their health care through Hope PACE. Personalized care plans are designed to meet each person’s needs and include services such as:

• All necessary prescription medications and lab services
• Medical equipment and home safety modifications
• Skilled home care and personal care aides
• Hospitalization, skilled nursing facility care, and end-of-life care
• Transportation, socialization, games and activities

A group of dedicated staff members work closely with participants and families to ensure the best possible care. With an established network of professional support, caregivers can enjoy peace of mind, knowing that Hope PACE will meet the needs of their aging parents, spouses, or loved ones.

The interdisciplinary team includes:

• Physicians, APRNs, and nurses who are responsible for participants’ medical needs
• Home Care Coordinators who monitor in-home services and order necessary medical equipment
• Dieticians who offer tips on healthy eating and balanced nutrition for senior adults
• Personal Care Aides who assist with activities of daily living like dressing, bathing, and grooming

• Bus Drivers who provide safe, convenient transportation to the state-of-the-art Hope PACE Care Center in fully accessible Hope Mobiles

For isolated or lonely seniors, warm meals and social activities at the Care Center can be a welcome change. Activities are designed to stimulate conversation and social connections. Daily exercise opportunities are available in addition to fun games like Bingo, Jenga, or trivia contests.

PACE participants who live in Collier County attend the Care Center conveniently located at 13020 Livingston Road in Naples. Regular hours are Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.

Most participants come to the Care Center two or three times a week. Others may only attend a few days a month. Each person’s Care Plan will specify the schedule for their ongoing visits.
