Helping Older Adults Stay Independent: What Our Colorado PACE Participants Are Telling Us
Independence is important at every stage of life. For older adults, the ability to remain independent can mean staying connected to a familiar community, maintaining daily routines, making personal choices and continuing to live life on their own terms.
At Colorado PACE, helping older adults maintain that independence is at the heart of what we do.
Our recent participant satisfaction survey provides an encouraging look at the impact of our approach: more than 50% of participants who responded to the survey reported that they are living independently.
Supporting Independence Through PACE
PACE, or Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly, brings together a coordinated team of health care and supportive services designed around each participant’s individual needs.
Rather than focusing on just one aspect of a person’s health or well-being, PACE takes a comprehensive approach. Participants have access to services and a team that works together to help them remain healthy, engaged and as independent as possible.
For many older adults, that support can make a meaningful difference in their ability to continue living in their homes and communities.
Independence Looks Different for Everyone
Being independent does not necessarily mean doing everything alone.
Sometimes, independence means having the right support to safely manage daily life. It can mean receiving health care, assistance or other services while continuing to make your own decisions and remain connected to the people and places that matter most.
That is one of the strengths of the PACE model: support is built around the individual, with the goal of helping participants achieve the highest possible quality of life while maintaining their independence.
A Meaningful Measure of Success
Survey results like these are especially meaningful because they come directly from the people we serve.
When more than half of survey respondents tell us they are living independently, it reinforces the importance of providing coordinated, person-centered care that supports the whole individual.
At Colorado PACE, we are proud to be part of a model of care that helps older adults remain active, engaged and connected to their communities.
Because independence is more than a goal. It is an important part of living well.
