StayWell Senior Care PACE

StayWell Senior Care is a Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) run by Randolph Health on Curry Drive in Asheboro. It offers an alternative to nursing home placement, letting people who need skilled nursing care stay at home while an interdisciplinary team builds a customized care plan. Most services take place at the PACE center, which includes an adult day health center. Families mention caring staff, attentive van drivers and good communication from the medical team, though one reviewer reports a poor experience. It is certified by North Carolina as an Adult Day Health program for up to 105 participants.

Services include primary care with physician and nursing services, hospital, emergency and outpatient care, medical equipment, home care and caregiver support. Participants receive physical, occupational and speech therapy, recreational therapy, activities and exercise, nutritional counseling, social work and mental health counseling. Transportation is provided to the PACE center and to medical appointments, and end-of-life services are included.

StayWell Senior Care is at 809 Curry Dr, Asheboro, NC 27205, and is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. To enroll, a person must be 55 or older, live in Randolph, Montgomery or Moore County, be able to live safely in the community and be certified by North Carolina as needing nursing home care. StayWell accepts Medicaid, Medicare or private payment, and people without Medicaid or Medicare pay a monthly premium. Call (336) 628-4200 (TTY 336-275-8878) to learn more or make a referral.
