My mom attended a Pace facility for day care. It was a wonderful place and caregivers were great. It did not smell. My mom was not on Medicaid, she paid the full rate. Payment is graduated based on income. Know nothing about having to use their doctors, maybe a requirement if on Medicaid.
There's a brand new one right by where we live. I wanted to know if I could just take mom there for showers. Some nursing homes have that as a pay service. Like going to get a haircut. They told me that we would have to switch all her healthcare to them. They didn't mention it was medicaid funded. Good to know to stay away. We are trying to avoid medicaid unless absolutely necessary.
