Social Work for Seniors: Connecting You to Resources and Support

At PACE KC, we know that health and well-being go beyond medical care. That’s why our dedicated social workers are here to support the emotional, social, and practical needs of every participant. From connecting you with essential community resources to helping you navigate complex life transitions, we’re here to make sure nothing falls through the cracks.
Our social workers are licensed professionals who serve as advocates, counselors, and problem-solvers. They work closely with your care team and family to ensure you feel supported, respected, and understood.
A partner in your care and daily life
Whether you’re dealing with emotional stress, financial uncertainty, or housing challenges, your social worker is there to help. Their goal is to remove barriers so you can focus on living a healthy, independent life.
PACE KC social workers provide personalized support that adapts to your needs. They can help you access food, housing, and financial assistance programs, while also offering emotional support and short-term counseling during times of stress or transition. If you need help with advance care planning, navigating care after a hospital stay, or understanding your eligibility for services, they’re here to guide you every step of the way. Social workers also support your caregivers and loved ones, making sure everyone involved in your care feels informed and empowered.
Your social worker is an ongoing partner in your care—not just in a crisis. They check in regularly and are available whenever you need guidance or support.
Whole-person care starts with understanding
Our social work services are an essential part of the PACE KC model of care. We meet you where you are, listen without judgment, and help you access the support systems that empower you to live well.
