PACE of Southwest Michigan

PACE coordinates all health care services. This includes primary care specialists, medications, hospitalizations, medical equipment and more.

PACE (Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly) is a unique program of long term care that allows elderly adults to remain in their home. We work with you and your loved ones to provide the support at home, medical treatment, and social interaction needed to remain strong and independent. The key to your success is our care team. This is a team of physicians, nurses, pharmacists, social workers, therapists, and transportation staff who are familiar with you and your needs. The care team meets daily to discuss all aspects of your care and provide services when appropriate. Our physician is a geriatrician specializing in the care of adults as they age. We encourage caregivers to remain involved by providing frequent communication and supportive services including respite care. PACE of Southwest Michigan serves Berrien, and parts of Cass and Van Buren Counties. Note: A PACE participant may be fully liable for the cost of medical services from an out-of-network provider or without previous authorization (except for emergency services).

PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) is a unique healthcare solution for seniors who struggle with health issues that may jeopardize their independence. PACE is a wonderful alternative to nursing home care which enables participants to live safely at home.

More than just Healthcare
The all-inclusive, complete nature of care received at PACE enables our participants to improve their quality of life. PACE takes care of primary care, specialty care, prescriptions, socialization, spiritual care, transportation, audiology, therapy, dental care, eye care, and so much more.

Home-Centered Approach
Most seniors would prefer to age in place, in the home they love. PACE services are designed to help seniors remain safely in their home while also providing much needed respite for family caregivers.

Everyone knows someone who can benefit from the PACE program.

Winter brings lots of joy—but also some unique challenges for older adults. Here are a few important safety tips to help seniors stay healthy, warm, and protected this season.

Hypothermia: Know the Signs

Hypothermia can happen even in 60°F weather. Seniors are more at risk because the body loses heat faster with age and certain health conditions.

Watch for:
• Confusion or sleepiness
• Shivering or stiffness
• Slurred speech
• Weak pulse or slow reactions

If someone’s temperature is 96°F or below, call 911.

Prevent hypothermia:
• Limit time outside
• Dress in loose, warm layers
• Wear a hat, scarf, and gloves
• Keep indoor temps at 68–70°F
• Stay dry outdoors
• Ask your doctor if medications increase risk

Frostbite: Protect Fingers, Toes & Ears

Frostbite affects areas like the nose, ears, cheeks, chin, and fingers. Seniors are more at risk if they have diabetes, heart disease, take certain medications, or have poor circulation.

Prevention:
• Dress in layers
• Protect extremities
• Limit time in very cold weather

Flu Prevention

Adults 65+ face higher risks from the flu. The flu vaccine can reduce hospitalization risk by about 40%.

CDC recommends:
• Flu shot (not nasal spray)
• Consider the senior-specific vaccines:
– High-Dose Flu Vaccine
– Adjuvanted Flu Vaccine

Fall Prevention in Winter

Falls are the leading cause of injury in older adults.

Stay safe by:
• Walking slowly and carefully on icy surfaces
• Using a wider stance for better balance
• Wearing shoes with good traction
• Dressing warmly—even for quick trips outside
• Keeping walkways and driveways clear
• Using kitty litter or sand for traction
• Asking your doctor about your personal fall risk

Keep Your Loved Ones Safe This Winter

A few simple precautions can make winter safer and more enjoyable for seniors. Share this post to help others stay informed!

🌍💙 World Diabetes Day — November 14 💙🌍

Take charge of your health at every age!
As we grow older, our risk for type 2 diabetes increases — but the good news is that small, steady lifestyle choices can make a big difference.

Know the Signs:
Increased thirst or frequent urination
Unexplained tiredness
Blurred vision
Slow-healing cuts or infections
If you notice any of these, speak with your healthcare provider — early detection is key!

Simple Steps for Prevention & Management
Choose balanced meals: more vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.
•Stay active — even daily walks help control blood sugar.
•Keep regular check-ups for blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol.
•Take medications as prescribed and never skip doses.

Remember:
Healthy living isn’t about perfection — it’s about consistency. Every step you take today protects your tomorrow.

Let’s spread awareness, encourage screening, and support one another this . 💙
