At PACE KC, we are committed to helping you remain safely at home for as long as possible. But if your health needs change and a higher level of support becomes necessary, we’re here to guide you through every step of the transition.

Whether it’s a short-term rehabilitation stay or long-term nursing home placement, your care team will work with you and your family to ensure the decision is thoughtful, respectful, and focused on your comfort and well-being. And because nursing home care is included in your all-inclusive PACE KC plan, you won’t have to worry about unexpected costs or confusing paperwork.

Coordinated nursing home care you can trust

Our team handles everything—from evaluating your needs to managing placement, ongoing care, and transitions back home when possible. You’ll continue to receive coordinated support from the PACE KC team throughout your nursing home stay, ensuring continuity of care and peace of mind.

When nursing home care may be recommended

• A serious illness or injury requires around-the-clock supervision

• Chronic conditions worsen and can’t be safely managed at home

• Recovery after surgery or hospitalization requires skilled care

• Cognitive decline makes it unsafe to live independently

We work closely with licensed nursing facilities in our trusted network, so you can feel confident that you or your loved one is receiving compassionate, high-quality care.

Support for every stage of aging

Even if a nursing home becomes necessary, you remain a valued part of the PACE KC program. We continue to advocate for your needs, monitor your progress, and explore opportunities to return home if and when it becomes safe to do so.
