Stay in the home you love
See us for the care you need
TRU PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) is an innovative model of care, a managed medical plan that helps older adults meet their health care needs in their home and in the community. TRU PACE coordinates and provides needed preventive, primary, acute, and long-term care services so that older adults can continue living safely in their community.
TRU PACE will help participants and their family members navigate the complicated issues associated with aging. Going from doctor to doctor can be exhausting and take up a lot of your day. That is why many of our services are under one roof. The idea is that by having all of these services in the same place, it’s easier for participants, and they’ll also enjoy a higher standard of care. Not to mention, it takes some of the pressure off of caregivers and family members.
At the heart of TRU PACE is our Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) who will manage each participant’s plan of care. Our TRU PACE day center is where our IDT is located as well as our medical clinic, rehabilitation services, home health coordination, social work, recreational therapies, social activities, and much more. When your care team can share information about your health and progress, they can give you coordinated treatment and recommendations. TRU PACE has you covered, from head to toe. We also offer services to help you make better decisions about your health, as well help you take advantage of resources in your community.

TRU PACE Philosophy
TRU PACE provides a person-centered approach to care. Our philosophy is based on balancing the medical, emotional, physical and social needs of older adults in our program. This holistic or All-inclusive plan of care will not only identify what we believe the participant needs but also what they may want.
The Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) customizes each participant’s plan of care to reflect his or her personal needs. We include the participant and family members in the development and approval of the plan of care.

History of PACE
PACE began in the early 1970s by On Lok Senior Health Services in San Francisco, CA in order to enable the Chinese community to care for elders without placing them in nursing facilities. With the success of On Lok and subsequent replication projects, Congress authorized PACE as a permanent Medicare provider and Medicaid state option in the Balanced Budget Act of 1997
