Kalamazoo Gazette: WMU and program for elderly to collaborate
Western Michigan University will be working hand-in-hand with Kalamazoo’s upcoming senior care center, which will be available for low-income residents with health care needs next year, the Kalamazoo Gazette reports.
Kalamazoo’s new Program for All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) will be the seventh such program in Michigan when it opens in January 2013 at the CentraCare facility at 445 W. Michigan Ave, which is currently being renovated. The PACE program’s main objective is to help elderly people stay independent and in their own homes, despite being certified as needing nursing-home levels of care.
The center and WMU are still planning how the different educational programs will work together.
