Life rarely fits neatly into a medical chart. Vista Community Clinic PACE (VCC PACE) participants have access to social workers who help with the practical and emotional sides of aging, so that paperwork, benefits, and difficult transitions feel less overwhelming.
What our social workers do
Your VCC PACE social worker is part of your care team and an advocate on your behalf. They can help you:
Understand program information, paperwork, and available supports
Connect to community resources and benefits you may be eligible for
Plan ahead for changes in your health or living situation
Communicate with family members and caregivers
Find emotional support during stressful or uncertain times
Coordinated with your whole care plan
Support for caregivers, too
Caring for an aging loved one can be demanding. VCC PACE social workers also serve as a resource for family members and caregivers, offering guidance, helping coordinate care, and connecting families to additional support when it is needed.
