About Our Practice

Centra PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) is a nationally recognized model that delivers comprehensive, wrap-around healthcare to adults age 55+ who qualify for nursing home level care and can safely remain in the community with PACE support.

PACE is a capitated model of care, which means there are no productivity metrics, only a focus on delivering the care each participant truly needs. Everything is coordinated under one roof with a dedicated interdisciplinary team of providers, nurses, dietitians, physical & occupational therapists, social workers, activities coordinators, & transport staff.
