The heart of PACE Place's mission is to empower Jacksonville's elderly population to age gracefully and comfortably while maintaining their independence. The program focuses on a person-centered approach that tailors care plans to meet the unique needs and preferences of each participant, encompassing medical, social, emotional, and functional aspects of their well-being.
As PACE Place builds its program, it remains dedicated to delivering top-notch, holistic care for the elderly. The program's interdisciplinary team of healthcare professionals collaborate to provide comprehensive care that addresses every aspect of the seniors' health and happiness. Additionally, transportation is provided to and from The PACE Place and to approved medically necessary appointments.

“PACE is uniquely positioned to provide care that not only improves the quality of life for our participants but also their caregivers, said Amy Bretz, Executive Director of PACE Partners of Northeast Florida. “Partnering with participants and their families to provide care in their own homes gives us the opportunity to decrease stress and isolation while rebuilding their sense of well-being.”
