About

San Diego PACE Chula Vista operates on Third Avenue as a CMS-certified Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly, managed by San Ysidro Health under its federally qualified health center network. The center coordinates geriatric primary care, medication management, physical and occupational therapy, and social work for adults 55 and older — a continuum that extends beyond clinic walls through referral networks including Southern Caregiver Resource Center for in-home caregiver support. Opened in 2019 as SYHealth's second PACE location after the original San Ysidro site launched in 2015, the Chula Vista center provides bilingual services in Spanish and Filipino to match the South Bay's demographics. Each participant receives a customized care plan from an interdisciplinary team of geriatricians, nurses, and social workers, with door-to-door medical transportation and home-care coordination supplemented by agencies such as ComForCare Home Care for non-medical daily assistance. The PACE model consolidates Medicare and Medi-Cal benefits into a single managed-care plan covering prescription drugs, durable medical equipment, nutritional counseling, adult day-center activities, and all specialist referrals under one capitated rate.
