Redwood Coast PACE Opens New Arcata Location

This is a press release from the Redwood Coast PACE:

Redwood Coast PACE (Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly), a program of the Humboldt Resource Center, has opened its new location in Arcata at 3798 Janes Road, on the Mad River Community Hospital campus.

The Arcata center – along with the PACE centers in Eureka and Fortuna – offers a full range of medical, social, and supportive services designed to meet the unique needs of local seniors who have complex medical needs and their families. Services include primary medical care, nursing, social work, rehabilitation therapies, transportation, nutritional support, and social activities –  all coordinated by an experienced team dedicated to person-centered care.

The program’s expansion reflects Redwood Coast PACE’s continued commitment to supporting older adults in Humboldt County with high-quality, comprehensive care that helps them live safely and independently in their own homes.

“We are thrilled to open our doors in Arcata and expand access to this vital program,” said Barbara LaHaie, director of Redwood Coast PACE. “The PACE model of care empowers older adults to continue living in the communities they love while receiving the care they need. This new location allows us to better serve participants in northern Humboldt County. We warmly invite community groups, organizations, and individuals to join us and the Arcata Chamber for a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday, June 6^th at 1:00 p.m. at our new location.”

The PACE care model is nationally recognized for helping seniors age in place while reducing hospitalizations and long-term care admissions. Eligible individuals must be 55 or older, live within the program’s service area, and meet nursing home level of care requirements, but prefer to live at home.

Enrollment is now open at the new Arcata location. Those interested in learning more about Redwood Coast PACE services, eligibility, or touring the new center can call (707) 443-9747 or visit www.humsenior.org.
