All of our healthcare professionals work alongside our members to ensure timely visits and high satisfaction. Our goal is to provide medical access to all participants as needed – around the clock 24/7.
SOCIAL SERVICES
Fresno PACE provides an array of services to the elderly population that are underserved and lack the appropriate self-sustaining support. Among these various services is our Social Services Department made up of experienced staff who provide the following type of services:
The Social Services Department is vital to the Interdisciplinary Team acting as a voice and resonating sound bar for those that have limited to no social support. On a daily basis the social workers work together to restore, encourage, and promote a better livelihood for our underserved, disabled, and elderly population by helping in areas such as grievances, appeals and service delivery requests. Our ultimate objective is to ensure the respect, and dignity and worth of our participants is preserved.
