WelbeHealth PACE — Riverside County centers
Description
PACE care on both sides of Riverside County: a Riverside center for the west county and a La Quinta center for the Coachella Valley, each with clinic, day center, medicines, rides, rehab, and home help in one plan.
Why this place helps: The La Quinta center means Coachella Valley seniors finally have a PACE center in the desert instead of facing a long ride to Riverside.
Who it is for: Age 55 or older, living in a WelbeHealth service-area ZIP code in Riverside County, needing a nursing-home level of care but able to live safely at home with help.
Both-cards note: If you hold both Medicare and Medi-Cal, WelbeHealth joins the two, so desert seniors get one team for care that used to need two plans’ approvals.
Hours: Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM
Ask for: Enrollment, Riverside or Coachella Valley center.
When you call, say: “I am over 55, I live in Riverside County, and I have Medicare and Medi-Cal. Which center covers my home?”
What to bring: Both health cards and your medicine list.
What to do: Call (888) 530-4415 and ask for the eligibility assessment at the center nearest your home.
