Franciscan PACE

Franciscan Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly, or Franciscan PACE, is a nonprofit health and supportive services program offering seniors an alternative to long-term care placement with centers in Baton Rouge and Lafayette.

The mission of Franciscan PACE is to enable the aging population to live with dignity in their communities. With Franciscan PACE’s assistance, participants can remain in the secure surroundings of their own homes and communities while providing family members and caregivers with much-needed professional guidance, physical relief and emotional support.

Franciscan PACE takes a team approach to care with a diverse, multi-disciplinary team. The team works together to develop individual care plans and goals and carefully monitor progress.
