St. Paul’s PACE provides senior care for adults in San Diego over 55 years of age who are living with chronic illness or disabilities and need coordinated medical care to continue living as independently as possible in their home and community.
About St. Paul's PACE
Our senior healthcare teams provide a hands-on approach, coordinating medical, social, and home care services so our participants no longer need to manage their medical care alone.
We use a team of qualified, bilingual, caring doctors and staff to provide “all-inclusive” medical, social, nutritional, rehabilitation, home care, and meal services. These healthcare and social service professionals are experts in working with seniors. They work together with St. Paul’s PACE participants and their family members to develop the most effective plan of care.
St. Paul’s PACE provides all the medical care and services covered by Medicare and Medi-Cal, as approved by our team of healthcare professionals, as well as medically-necessary care and services not covered by Medicare and Medi-Cal.

PACE Model Of Care
Your St. Paul’s PACE care team members (also known as the Interdisciplinary Team or IDT) is composed of a primary care physician, center manager, registered nurses, physical, occupational and recreational therapists, social worker, dietitian, your home care certified nursing assistant, St. Paul’s PACE center aides, and transportation representatives.
As needed, your care team mobilizes other services including medical specialists, laboratory and other diagnostic tests, and hospital and nursing home care. When you first join St. Paul’s PACE, you will receive an in-depth health assessment from your entire St. Paul’s PACE care team. Additional assessments will happen every six months; when there is a change of condition or when a request for services is made. You and your caregiver(s)/family will continue to play an important role in managing your health and independence.
