Touching More Lives Through the Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly
After enrolling in Midland Care PACE, Johnson began going to the Day Center, where he would attend physical therapy, enjoy lunch and the company of others, and participate in activities that he enjoyed, like practicing his golf putting.
Making the Day Center a space that participants enjoy is an essential part of the program. The more frequently participants come to the day center, the better their health outcomes tend to be.
Johnson goes to the Midland Care PACE Day Center two times a week at his leisure. The center offers transportation each way. Both Johnson and family have noticed a significant change in his independence and mental and physical health since joining Midland Care PACE.
The Midland Care Day Center has a small kitchen and cafeteria, where participants can have breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack — as well as access to computers, handicapped-accessible showers and restrooms. There is also a lovely sitting room for relaxing and other activities. In addition, there are examination rooms where participants can have regular check-ups and participate in physical therapy.
Johnson is just one of many who have enjoyed the benefits of Midland Care PACE. The PACE program is available for most of the Northeast Kansas area.
