Element Care PACE is a nonprofit healthcare organization with a simple mission: to help aging adults live safely, comfortably and independently at home and in the community while limiting stays at hospitals and nursing facilities.
We get to know participants as individuals – who they are, where they live, what they like to do – so we can treat the whole person, not just the symptoms.
We work together as a team to discuss ideas and deliver compassionate, all-inclusive care that helps people live healthier, more fulfilling lives in their own communities. That’s what Element Care PACE is all about.
Element Care provides delegated care management, utilization management and transitions of care management to 1800 Commonwealth Care Alliance (CCA) Senior Care Options (SCO) members. CCA SCO is a health plan for older adults who qualify for both Medicare and MassHealth. SCO helps coordinate healthcare services and provides access to a network of doctors, specialists, hospitals, and support services while allowing members to keep their existing primary care provider. Members receive care management support, behavioral health services, prescription coverage, and additional benefits designed to help older adults remain healthy and independent in the community.
