Welcome to Piedmont Health
SeniorCare
Piedmont Health SeniorCare is a new, comprehensive program of community-based health care for older
adults.
Established in 2008, Piedmont Health
SeniorCare provides an alternative to nursing home care to Alamance
and Caswell counties; it allows nursing-home eligible seniors to
remain in their homes and communities.
Model of
Care
Approved by Centers for Medicare
and Medicaid Services, our program is based on a model of
care known as PACE (Program of All Inclusive Care for the Elderly).
PACE programs keep older adults as healthy as possible in the
community by providing comprehensive health care and social services
including: primary and specialty medical care, a day health program,
social work services, rehabilitation, pharmaceuticals, home health, and
more.
Participants attend the Day Center on
a regular basis, and transportation is provided. The PACE team of
health care and social service professionals and affiliates provide
comprehensive integrated care to the program’s participants.
As a PACE provider, Piedmont Health
SeniorCare:
-
Builds on existing community services to provide a
full-continuum of care
-
Coordinates care through an interdisciplinary care team
in collaboration with participants and their loved ones;
-
Manages care individually, with emphasis on specific
circumstances of participants’ health, ability to care for themselves,
the complexity of family relationships, as well as the goals and
desires of the participant and their caregivers.
