Medical Services
Ascension Living St. Vincent PACE is your primary care provider
As a participant, you will rely on Ascension Living St. Vincent PACE as your sole primary care provider. Participants may choose quality care providers from the St. Vincent PACE partner network. Your first visit to the clinic will be during your pre-enrollment assessment. At that time the nurse and physician will visit with you about your health history, health goals, medications and assistance needs. After enrollment the clinic will function much like any other doctor’s office. We will encourage preventive health screenings, educate on healthy life habits and provide you with the information you need to have the quality of life you desire.In the clinic, we also do lab tests and minor procedures. Other more specialized tests or specialty physician consultations will be scheduled by appointment with outside providers as approved by Ascension Living St. Vincent PACE medical team. Transportation to and from these appointments is offered as part of participant care.
Specialist care
As a participant in Ascension Living St. Vincent PACE, your primary care provider will arrange for specialist care when it is necessary. Because all of your appointments are coordinated through your primary care provider, every specialist you see will be fully informed about your previous care experiences. Specialist services include dental, vision, hearing, and more.
Medication management and pharmacy
All necessary prescription medications are provided and covered as part of your membership in PACE. Ascension Living St. Vincent PACE will take the place of your existing Medicare Part D plan, if you have one. Our pharmacy will conduct a review of your medications and is available for medication education or questions, if necessary. Your medications will be prepared for you at the PACE center and delivered to you, so there is no need to coordinate with an outside pharmacy.
Hospitalizations
If your condition requires a hospital stay, Ascension Living St. Vincent PACE will work with you and the hospital to coordinate all needed medical care. Ascension Living St. Vincent PACE medical providers and other members of our team will continue to follow you throughout your hospitalization, in an effort to get you the care you need and help you return to your own home as soon as possible.
Adult Day Center
Social activities
Whether you prefer group get-togethers, chatting over a cup of coffee or quietly observing, you can find activities you can enjoy at Ascension Living St. Vincent PACE. We offer a large day room or our Memory Support day center to best support our participant needs. Monthly calendars display a variety of options. Activities include bingo, cooking and group exercise. Groups from the community are invited in to provide entertainment and education on different topics. Periodically, we organize outings into the community as well. Several independent or self-initiated activities are always available for you to choose. Lunch is provided daily during business days.
Memory Support Day Center
Our Memory Support day center offers assistance with activities of daily living, and provides scheduled activities to help keep our participants socially engaged.
Therapy services and durable medical equipment
Participants have access to therapy services - whether for strengthening, maintenance, or to improve general health.
Social services
Once you join Ascension Living St. Vincent PACE, you will be assigned a personal social worker. Your social worker will promote collaboration between you, your family members and your St. Vincent PACE multidisciplinary team. You can turn to your social worker for assistance with public resources, paid support services and natural supports (such as family and friends), helping you make informed decisions regarding your care.
Dietary services
A nutrition assessment will be completed every six months, and as needed, to address any nutritional needs or concerns. At the day center, snacks are available and a hot meal is provided daily. Nutrition education classes and cooking demos are offered at the Adult Day Center. One-on-one nutrition education is also provided to those with specified diet orders — or nutritional needs.
Care in the Community
Participants are encouraged to be as active and independent as possible in their home. A home evaluation is completed during the pre-enrollment assessment to determine whether home care services are needed and to recommend options for improving your safety and independence. Home care needs will be reviewed at least every six months, or more frequently as needed.

- Nursing services
