Hospital Working with Los Angeles Jewish Health to Offer Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) for Coachella Valley Seniors

RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif., March 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Made possible through generous philanthropic support, Eisenhower Health has purchased the Neuro Vitality Center (formerly the Stroke Recovery Center). In partnership with Los Angeles Jewish Health (LAJHealth), Eisenhower will provide a Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) at the former Neuro Vitality Center location. After a renovation, the site is expected to open with a new name and focus in the next 12 to 18 months.

"Eisenhower Health is committed to addressing the long-term health care needs for low-income seniors through this new Center and PACE program," says Martin Massiello, President and Chief Executive Officer, Eisenhower Health. "We are incredibly grateful for the support of our generous donors which will aid in serving the area's most vulnerable residents."

"Having served neurologically challenged and chronically ill members of the community for over 46 years, the Neuro Vitality Center (Stroke Recovery Center) is pleased to turn the reins over to Eisenhower to expand treatment to this vulnerable population in need," says Beverly Greer, Chief Executive Officer, Neuro Vitality Center. "Increased access and more services will only serve to enhance the quality of life and health for patients well into the future."

"Los Angeles Jewish Health is delighted to partner with Eisenhower Health in bringing our world-class PACE program, entitled the Brandman Centers for Senior Care, to residents of the Coachella Valley," remarks Dale Surowitz, President and Chief Executive Officer, Los Angeles Jewish Health. "We look forward to working with the organization to meet the needs of the community's high-risk seniors, while helping to improve the health of the broader community."

PACE provides not only medical care and nutritious meals but also fun activities, exercise, parties, and the opportunity to socialize and make friends, erasing the isolation so common among many of today's seniors.

LAJHealth's PACE receives approval and oversight from both the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the California Department of Health Care Services' (CDHCS) Integrated Systems of Care Division. Los Angeles Jewish Health's PACE is a member of the National PACE Association and CalPACE.
