Senior's Get New Center In Chula Vista, California.
A
free and all inclusive program for low-income seniors recently launched
in the South Bay. St.
Paul's PACE opened its doors in Chula Vista on August 1, 2012
to provide daytime living assistance for frail and low-income people
55and older. The main goal of the state and federally funded program is
to help seniors continue to live in their own homes for as long as
possible.
Many seniors don't want to
admit that they are struggling at home,
she explained, because they don't want to be put into a nursing home.
The nonprofit raised $8 million to buy and renovate and old Office
Depot at 630 L Street, equipping it with a physical therapy wing, a
full service medical clinic, showers, laundry facilities, a kitchen,
dining room, computer lab and several social areas. Staff ember are on
hand to provide everything from physical therapy and medical care to
help filling out MediCal applications and banking.
The
facility also offers transportation to
the day program for seniors up to five days a week and has a nurse on
call 24 hours a day to help with emergencies. The program boasts and
18% drop in hospitalization for its seniors and a 23% reduction to
their risk of falling. It also helps them increase their range of
motion by an average of 63% enable them to perform more tasks on their
own.
There are 18,000 people in South County over the age of 55 on MediCal.

Senior Center's are such an important part of our lives today. Because people are living longer, we have such a huge number of senior's. We have a great Senior Center here in Concord. It is well attended and a big help in lending assistance to both senior's and their care givers.
