Senior TLC

Senior Total Life Care is the PACE program in Gastonia, NC. (PACE – Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly).

PACE is a Medicare program for older adults and people over age 55 living with disabilities. This program provides community-based care and services to people who otherwise need nursing home level of care. PACE was created as a new way to provide the elderly, their families, caregivers, and professional health care providers flexibility to meet the patient’s health care needs and to help them continue living in the community.

An interdisciplinary team of professionals will give the coordinated care patients need. These professionals are also experts in working with the older people. They will work together with the patients and their families (if appropriate) to develop the most effective plan of care.

PACE provides all the care and services covered by Medicare and Medicaid, as authorized by the interdisciplinary team, as well as additional medically-necessary care and services not covered by Medicare and Medicaid. PACE provides coverage for prescription drugs, doctor care, transportation, home care, checkups, hospital visits, and even nursing home stays whenever necessary. With PACE, the patients’ ability to pay will never keep them from getting the care needed.
