St. Paul’s PACE
Description
Full PACE care since 2008: your own care team, day center, clinic, medicines, rides, rehab, and home help, all in one plan, at four San Diego County centers.
Why this place helps: It is the oldest PACE program in San Diego County, and it has a center in four parts of the county, so care can be close to home.
Who it is for: Age 55 or older, living in the St. Paul’s PACE service area in San Diego County, needing a nursing-home level of care but able to live safely at home with PACE help. Most members have Medi-Cal, Medicare, or both.
Both-cards note: If you hold both Medicare and Medi-Cal, St. Paul’s PACE wraps both into one plan, so one team pays for and arranges nearly all of your care.
Hours: Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM
Ask for: The enrollment team, for a free eligibility check.
When you call, say: “I am over 55 and I have Medicare and Medi-Cal. Please check if PACE can take over my care.”
What to bring: Your Medicare card, your Medi-Cal card, a list of your medicines, and your doctor’s name.
What to do: Call 1-833-PACE-NOW. They will check your address and health needs, then set up a home visit to explain the plan before you decide.
