BoldAge PACE Senior Services and Adult Day Care in Columbus, Ohio

BoldAge PACE in Columbus, Ohio, provides senior services and adult day care through a coordinated program that helps participants continue living at home. Scheduled time at the PACE center can include medical care, nutritious meals, physical therapy, exercise, and social activities, with transportation connecting participants to the center and healthcare appointments. A personalized care team coordinates services across the center, the participant’s home, and authorized providers, bringing healthcare, practical support, and opportunities for connection into one individualized plan.

Comprehensive Aging Services Through PACE

BoldAge PACE is a Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly, a Medicare and Medicaid program created to help seniors receive needed healthcare and support services while living in their homes and communities. Participants receive approved services through BoldAge PACE, the Columbus center, their homes, and authorized healthcare providers.

The Columbus center is not a residential senior living community. It operates from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, and participants return home at the end of the day. Each person’s center schedule and combination of services are guided by an individualized care plan.

Adult Day Care Services in Columbus

Time at the PACE center brings healthcare, meals, movement, and social connection into the participant’s week. The Columbus location includes a café area, a large activities room, common gathering space, and a physical therapy room with exercise equipment.

  • Nutritious Meals
  • Social and Recreational Activities
  • Group Exercise
  • Physical Therapy

Participants can spend time with others while receiving the services included in their care plans. The center schedule creates a change of pace from time at home, while coordinated transportation makes it easier to attend scheduled center days.

Medical, Dental, and Vision Care

BoldAge PACE coordinates comprehensive medical care through a consistent team familiar with each participant’s health needs. Participants receive primary and specialty care through BoldAge PACE or authorized providers, except for emergency services. When care from a community specialist is needed, the team can authorize the service, schedule the appointment, arrange a ride, and follow up with the provider.

  • Primary and Specialty Medical Care
  • Dental Checkups, Cleanings, Dentures, and Treatments
  • Vision Checkups, Eyewear, and Treatments
  • Prescription Medication Coordination and Delivery

The care team is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to address unexpected health concerns. Participants can call the Columbus number at night, on weekends, and during holidays when the center is closed.

Personalized Care Coordination

Each participant meets with a dedicated care team to develop a plan based on personal needs and goals. The team coordinates the services in that plan across medical appointments, the PACE center, the participant’s home, and the program’s provider network.

  • Individualized Care Planning
  • Medical and Support Service Coordination
  • Social Services
  • Nutritional Services

This integrated approach gives participants and families a central team for scheduling, transportation, medications, specialist referrals, and follow-up. Care plans can bring together services that would otherwise require coordination among several separate providers.

Support at Home and for Caregivers

Senior services extend beyond the Columbus center. Participants can receive help at home with daily personal care or medical needs, and nutritious meals and physical therapy may also be provided at home when included in the care plan.

BoldAge PACE works with family members and trusted caregivers to support the participant and give caregivers breaks. Home-based assistance and center-based care work together within the same coordinated program rather than functioning as unrelated services.

Transportation for Center Days and Appointments

BoldAge PACE provides rides to the PACE center and medical appointments. Transportation also supports authorized specialist visits, with the care team handling appointment scheduling and follow-up. When a participant cannot attend a scheduled center day, the Columbus team asks to be notified before 7:00 a.m. or as soon as possible so the driver and care team can be informed.
