Job Description:
LIFE at St. Joseph of the Pines (SJP) has an excellent full-time
opportunity for a Board Certified Geriatric Medicine, Internal
Medicine or Family Medicine physician to join as Medical Director
of the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE)
facility located in Fayetteville, North Carolina.
Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) model is
centered on the belief that it is better for the well-being of
seniors with chronic care needs and their families to be served in
the community whenever possible.
PACE serves individuals who are age 55 or older, certified by their
state to need nursing home care, able to live safely in the
community at the time of enrollment and live in a PACE service
area. While all PACE participants must be certified to need nursing
home care to enroll in PACE, only about 7 percent of PACE
participants nationally reside in a nursing home. If a PACE
enrollee needs nursing home care, the PACE program pays for it and
continues to coordinate the enrollee's care. We encourage
fellowship and independence while serving seniors and their
families with dignity and respect. Delivering all needed medical
and supportive services, PACE is able to provide the entire
continuum of care and services to seniors with chronic needs while
maintaining their independence in their home for as long as
possible.
