Seniors in need of coordinated, comprehensive medical care are invited to attend an Open House Tuesday, July 19, hosted by Hope PACE, a Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly. Hope PACE offers help for the chronically ill, frail and aging in need of medical care, relief from isolation and nutritious meals.

The program eliminates the confusion of coordinating multiple physicians, offers opportunities for social interaction, home visits, and caregiver support. Hope PACE is a joint Medicare and Medicaid program, and is also available through private pay.

Care services are provided in the patient’s home as well as the Hope PACE Center in Fort Myers, which includes a clinic and day health facility.

The public is invited to an open house at the Hope Health Center, to tour the facility and learn more about the program.

Representatives of the Florida Department of Elder Affairs SHINE (Serving Health Insurance Needs of Elders) program will offer free counseling and information on Medicare coverage. Hope PACE is a program of Hope HealthCare Services, and is available to residents of Lee and Charlotte counties.
