CenterLight Healthcare is recognized as the provider of the largest not-for-profit Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) in the nation, offering a comprehensive suite of services for older adults who wish to remain active and engaged within their community. With a substantial network of over 4,000 providers, CenterLight Healthcare operates a total of 11 PACE centers along with an owned alternative care setting located across several New York counties including the Bronx, Kings (Brooklyn), New York (Manhattan), Queens, Richmond (Staten Island), Nassau, Western Suffolk, and Westchester. This widespread presence allows CenterLight Healthcare to bring comprehensive and personalized care directly to diverse communities, making it accessible to a broad range of participants.
At the heart of CenterLight Healthcare’s approach is a holistic philosophy that prioritizes the physical, emotional, and social well-being of every participant. The organization provides on-site access to essential medical care, as well as physical, occupational, and speech therapies. Beyond these critical health services, participants can also benefit from nutritional counseling aiming to support overall wellness and healthy living. The centers are thoughtfully designed to be welcoming and vibrant, offering not only clinical support but also a range of services that foster socialization and meaningful engagement.
The day-to-day experience at CenterLight Healthcare PACE centers is enriched by a calendar of activities and events tailored to encourage participants to enjoy their favorite pastimes while exploring new skills and interests. This dynamic environment promotes both independence and community connection, supporting older adults in discovering new talents and passions. The program is dedicated to enabling participants to remain safely in their homes and neighborhoods, reducing isolation and supporting continued autonomy.
Participants enrolled in CenterLight Healthcare PACE benefit from the support of an Interdisciplinary Team, which identifies and coordinates the full spectrum of services needed for each individual. This ensures that care is highly personalized, culturally sensitive, and designed to meet the unique preferences and needs of every participant. The organization’s commitment to comprehensive, participant-centered care helps individuals maintain fulfilling and active lives while receiving a high standard of medical and psychosocial support.
Stories like that of Irma Hoyos, who joined CenterLight Healthcare PACE seeking greater social engagement, illustrate the positive impact of the organization’s programs. The welcoming environment and daily opportunities provided by CenterLight Healthcare help participants feel valued and empowered, turning each day into a new adventure and enhancing quality of life for those served.
