There is something here in CT called ConnPACE but they decided that elderly people who are eligible for medicare are no longer eligible for that program. It had nothing to do with nutrition, however. I suspect your PACE program is not the same as the one here. Bummer.

frommrjess5, mom mom has had Alzhimers for about 3 years now and there are a lot of greens that she used to like to eat, but now that she is in stage 6 with this dreadful deiseas sh can't tollarate the look or the taste of these foods. I try my best to get a lot of other things into her so that she keeps her nutrition up so that shedoesn't loose any more weight when she went into the nursing home the first part of January she was 117 pounds and in a month and a half her weight dropped to 102 pounds but since I brought her home her weight has come back up to 118 pounds. What they did in the home was give her food that was very unappealing all mushed up and just put her tray in front of her and walk away making her not wanting to eat or even encouraging her to pick up the spoon or fork to even try the food BLARR and unappealing but now that I have her home she is eating most of what I put in front of her especially choclate and anything that is better looking than what she got there. I just got her registered into an excellant program that is called PACE and they pay close attention to all the people who are in this daycare program and they have brought her back to where she is soppose to be and I thank them with all of my HEART FOR BRINGING HER BACK TO ME...We are looking to have a few cookouts this summer to have our family see how well she is making out.

Keep in mind that some seniors cannot tolerate spices, cruciferous vegetables and dairy.
