Department Description: 

CHA PACE is a Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) at Cambridge Health Alliance (CHA). CHA PACE serves adults 55 years and older with chronic medical and/or mental health difficulties with the goals of achieving the highest level of community independence and preventing nursing home placement. CHA PACE's high functioning interdisciplinary team works to fully integrate and coordinate medical and behavioral health care, community resources, and in-home support services.

They also utilize evidence-based nursing interventions to support these comprehensive care plans. In addition, the LPN communicates the current status of participants to the RN, including new problems and/or problems indicating a significant change in status, in order to inform best practices for continued care. This is a home care position with cross-coverage in clinic triage as needed.
