What are the Benefits of Joining ESPNS?

Care is coordinated by our interdisciplinary team, so information and services are less fragmented. Each participant has an individual plan of care which may include services such as Home Care, Medications, Primary Medical Care, Adult Day Health Center and Transportation.

PACE Adult Day Health Centers are open Monday through Friday, 8 am to 4 pm.  Although the day centers are open during normal business hours, a PACE clinician is on call 7 days a week; 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
