Day in the Life of a Buckeye PACE Participant
A typical day for a Buckeye PACE participant is anything but ordinary. It’s filled with care, connection, and community—all tailored to meet their unique needs. Let’s take a closer look at how Buckeye PACE helps seniors live life to the fullest while staying healthy and independent.
Morning: Warm Welcomes and Personalized Care The day often begins with transportation provided by Buckeye PACE. Whether it’s a visit to the PACE center or a scheduled medical appointment, participants are greeted by friendly drivers who ensure a safe and comfortable journey. Upon arrival at the center, participants might meet with their healthcare team. This could include a check-in with their primary care doctor, a quick consultation with a nurse, or therapy sessions tailored to their goals. The focus is always on keeping participants feeling their best, physically and emotionally.
Midday: Activities, Socializing, and Delicious Meals Lunch at the PACE center is a highlight. Nutritious meals are thoughtfully prepared to accommodate dietary needs while still being absolutely delicious. Participants share these meals in a lively, communal setting, enjoying the company of friends and staff.
After lunch, the day opens up for engaging activities. From art classes to gentle exercise programs and lively games, there’s something for everyone. These activities aren’t just fun—they’re designed to stimulate the mind and body, promoting overall wellness. For participants who prefer quieter moments, there are comfortable spaces to relax, read, or chat with a friend.
Afternoon: Wrap-Up and Heading Home As the afternoon winds down, participants might attend a final session—perhaps a group discussion, music therapy, or one-on-one time with a caregiver. The Buckeye PACE team ensures that every participant leaves feeling supported and cared for. Transportation is once again provided, taking participants home safely with the peace of mind that all their needs have been met for the day.
The Buckeye PACE Difference What makes Buckeye PACE so special is its holistic approach. It’s not just about medical care; it’s about fostering relationships, building confidence, and helping seniors maintain their independence. Participants and their families know they’re part of a community that genuinely cares.
Each day at Buckeye PACE is a step toward better health, greater joy, and stronger connections. For seniors who want to embrace life with a little extra support, Buckeye PACE offers the perfect blend of care and community.
