BETTENDORF, Iowa — UnityPoint Health workers are putting the finishing touches on their new Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) site in Bettendorf.
This new center coming this fall to 2119 Kimberly Road in Bettendorf will include a medical clinic, day center, and fitness center among other amenities to help older Quad Citizens through their elderly years.
"PACE provides a holistic approach to healthcare for eligible seniors. In addition to on-site primary and specialty care, PACE offers an extensive list of services," Matt Swanstrom, the executive director of UnityPoint Health PACE Senior Care, said. "This coordinated care helps seniors live at home for as long as safely possible."
Families and residents who are looking into UnityPoint's new health center will need to meet these requirements to receive aid:
- Must meet Iowa's nursing facility level of care criteria
- Live within Clinton, Muscatine or Scott counties in Iowa
- Be 55 years old or older
- Be able to live safely from home
A ribbon cutting will be held at the new facility sometime in the early fall of this year.
