Patient Portal Careers at Swope Health Provide Feedback PACE KC You are here: Home / What We Do – Swope Health Services / PACE KC PACE KC is not an approved PACE provider and does not yet offer PACE services. This information is for educational purposes only. PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) is a healthcare program that provides a full range of personalized healthcare and wellness services to allow older adults to age gracefully in their home communities. Swope Health is launching a capital campaign for the development of the new program. PACE KC will follow the model successfully used at 140 organizations nationally to provide the entire continuum of care and services to individuals aged 55 and older. With a proactive, hands-on approach to personalized healthcare for older adults, PACE is unlike any other long-term care options available in our area. PACE emphasizes comprehensive, coordinated and preventive care in a way that treats the whole person – addressing physical, emotional and psychological needs. A team of providers work together across many disciplines to help PACE members achieve and maintain their health and wellness goals.

Studies also show that PACE members are less likely to suffer depression. There is also a high caregiver satisfaction rate—more than 96 percent are satisfied with the support they receive through PACE. Located adjacent to Swope Health Central at 4141 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, the PACE KC Adult Wellness Center will be the home of the PACE KC interdisciplinary care team and the central hub for most PACE KC services. The new 32,000-square-foot, two-story building will be welcoming and homelike — a comfortable and friendly place for PACE members to access primary care, rehabilitation therapy and other routine medical services. The center will also be a great place for members to socialize while enjoying recreational activities, fitness sessions, classes, meals, and companionship. The building will house not just clinical spaces but also a day center, rehabilitation gym, computer lab, library, arts and crafts room, bathing suite, low stimulation memory care area, outdoor recreation space, and administrative and meeting spaces. We hope to break ground on the PACE KC Adult Wellness Center in late 2021 or early 2022. This state-of-the-art facility will be an important addition to the neighborhood development along Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. PACE KC will also be home to 90 high-quality jobs once it reaches full capacity. The close association with Swope Health will allow PACE KC to leverage the expertise and commitment of Swope Health’s associates, who are experts and passionate leaders in serving the local communities we know and love.
