Program Director Ben Stevens said the PACE facility uses a team-based holistic approach that includes transportation to any appointments members have to go to. “Our goal is to keep our participants strong enough mentally and physically to live in their own home environment,” he said. “We anticipate eventually signing up 150 people. There will probably be 75 to 80 here on any day when we reach our optimum capacity.”
