LIFE PACE Services
Comprehensive Healthcare and Social Support
LIFE PACE offers a variety of services. Based on identified need, the interdisciplinary team works with you and your family to create a plan of care and outlines the services you will receive.
The plan of care serves as a road map; it is a written plan developed by the participant and the interdisciplinary healthcare team that defines how and when services will be provided. It is formulated by the team after all of the initial assessments are completed. The team then integrates goals that the family and participant would like to achieve. The care plan is reviewed every six months or if a significant change occurs.
