TRU PACE

10/16/2026

For families comparing care options, this is one of the most important questions to ask: Who is helping coordinate the full picture?

Coordinated care works best when the right people are working from the same plan.

At TRU PACE, each participant has an interdisciplinary care team that works together to create and update a personalized care plan. Depending on the participant’s needs, that team may include:

1. Physicians and nurses
2. Physical, occupational, or speech therapists
3. Social workers
4. Dietitians
5. Transportation coordinators
6. Home care professionals
7. Day Center and life enrichment staff
8. Other contracted providers involved in the participant’s care

This team-based approach helps medical care, supportive services, meals, therapy, transportation, home support, and social connection work together around the participant’s goals, routines, and daily life.

TRU PACE is a Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly and a program of TRU Community Care for adults age 55 and older who need a nursing home level of care and are able to live safely in the community might be eligible for PACE support.

A few notes before an appointment can help make the conversation more productive.

For family caregivers, appointments can move quickly. Writing down changes, questions, and observations ahead of time can help you share a clearer picture of your loved one’s needs, routines, and goals.

Before the next appointment, consider writing down:

1. Any changes in mood, memory, energy, or appetite
2. Recent falls, balance concerns, pain, or mobility changes
3. Medication questions, side effects, or refill needs
4. Changes in sleep, meals, hydration, or daily routines
5. Transportation, home safety, or personal care needs
6. Questions your loved one wants to ask
7. What support would make daily life feel more manageable

TRU PACE helps eligible adults age 55 and older receive coordinated care through one connected program. Participants receive support from an interdisciplinary care team that can include medical, therapy, social work, nutrition, transportation, and home care professionals working together around one personalized care plan.

As a program of TRU Community Care, TRU PACE is part of a broader continuum of support for older adults, families, and caregivers.

A steady morning routine can support the whole day.

For older adults, the first few hours of the day can help set a rhythm for movement, nutrition, medication reminders, social connection, and overall well-being. Simple routines can also make daily life feel more grounded and easier to follow.

Here are five ways a morning routine can support healthy aging:

1. It creates a familiar rhythm for the day
2. It helps meals, medications, and hydration stay on track
3. It builds in time for gentle movement or stretching
4. It creates space to notice changes in energy, mood, or comfort
5. It can include connection through a phone call, shared meal, activity, or visit

TRU PACE is a Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly and a program of TRU Community Care supporting eligible adults age 55 and older who need a nursing home level of care and are able to live safely in the community with PACE support.

Through coordinated medical care, supportive services, transportation, meals, activities, and personalized care planning, TRU PACE helps participants build support around daily routines and whole-person well-being.

97% live in the community. That says something important about the PACE model.

PACE stands for Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly. It is designed for older adults who need a nursing home level of care but can live safely in the community with the right support.

That community-based focus matters.

PACE brings medical care, supportive services, transportation, meals, therapy, social connection, and personalized care planning together through one coordinated approach. Instead of treating care as a collection of separate appointments and services, the PACE model is built around the participant’s health, goals, routines, and daily life.

TRU PACE serves eligible adults age 55 and older who live in the program’s service area, meet the state’s nursing home level of care requirement, and are able to live safely in the community with PACE support.

For families exploring care options, this is one important question to ask: How does this program help support life in the community?

As a program of TRU Community Care and National PACE Association, TRU PACE is part of a trusted continuum of support for aging, serious illness, independence, and community living.

How much of your week is spent coordinating care?

For many family caregivers, supporting an aging loved one includes scheduling appointments, tracking medications, arranging transportation, planning meals, communicating with providers, managing paperwork, and keeping family members updated.

A caregiver calendar audit can help you see where your time is going and where more support could make care feel more connected.

Start by looking at one week and tracking time spent on:

1. Medical appointments and follow-up calls
2. Medication refills, reminders, or questions
3. Transportation planning
4. Meal planning or nutrition support
5. Daily check-ins and household tasks
6. Family updates and care coordination
7. Researching services, benefits, or next steps

TRU PACE helps eligible adults age 55 and older receive coordinated care through one connected program. Participants must live in the TRU PACE service area, need a nursing home level of care as approved by the state, and be able to live safely in the community with PACE support.

For families, that means medical care, supportive services, transportation, meals, therapy, social connection, and care planning can work together through an interdisciplinary care team.

Creativity can be part of healthy aging.

For older adults, creative moments can support connection, routine, self-expression, and joy. They can also offer an easy way to stay engaged during the week, whether at home, with family, or in a group setting.

Five low-pressure ways to add creativity to your week:

1. Listen to a favorite song and talk about the memories it brings up
2. Try a simple craft, coloring page, or hands-on activity
3. Share a family recipe, story, or tradition
4. Spend a few minutes writing, journaling, or looking through photos
5. Join a group activity where conversation and creativity can happen together
