CEI is a Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), a long-term comprehensive health care program that enables frail older adults to live at home in their communities for as long as medically and socially feasible. CEI is committed to helping frail older adults maintain their independence, dignity and quality of life. CEI is a Health Plan which provides all medical care (24-hours-a-day), a PACE Day Center, home care services and transportation.

PACE creatively coordinates the care of each participant enrolled in the program based on his or her individual health and social needs with the goal of enabling older individuals to remain living safely in their community.

INTERDISCIPLINARY TEAM

Your CEI interdisciplinary team members are composed of a primary care physician, PACE Center manager, registered nurses, physical, occupational and recreational therapists, social worker, dietitian, PACE Center health care workers, and transportation representative.

As needed, your interdisciplinary team mobilizes other services including medical specialists, laboratory and other diagnostic tests, hospital and nursing home care. When you first join CEI, you will receive a comprehensive in-depth assessment from all of your CEI interdisciplinary team members. These assessments will be made every six months, as well as when there is a change of condition or a request for services.  You and your caregiver(s) will continue to play an important role in managing your health and independence.

Continuous monitoring and highly integrated acute and long-term care services allow the CEI interdisciplinary team to successfully manage the complex, constantly changing medical, functional and psycho-social concerns faced by the disabled elderly person.

Because the CEI interdisciplinary team members are in frequent contact with you, they can detect even the most subtle change in condition and modify your treatment plan. The interdisciplinary team has complete flexibility in tailoring a care plan for your needs.

You will get to know each of your interdisciplinary team members very well, for they will work closely with you to help you remain as healthy and independent as possible. Before you receive or stop receiving any service from CEI your interdisciplinary team must approve it. They will assess your needs as often as is required.
