Life Enrichment Specialist | PACE Program
About The Position
The Life Enrichment Specialist plans and leads activities that enhance the social, emotional, cognitive, and physical wellbeing of older adult participants in the PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) program. They create individualized and group programs, facilitate engagement, and tailor activities to each participant’s abilities and interests, often collaborating with the interdisciplinary care team. Their role includes organizing outings, special events, and community involvement opportunities to reduce isolation and promote purpose, joy, and connection. Overall, they help participants stay active, socially engaged, and emotionally supported as part of a holistic, person-centered care approach. The PACE program is designed to help older adults remain safely in their homes rather than entering nursing facilities. It provides complete medical care, rehabilitation, medications, transportation, social services, and supportive therapies—all coordinated by an interdisciplinary care team. Participants receive personalized care plans tailored to their unique needs, along with access to a PACE center for social activities, meals, and clinical services. By integrating medical and supportive care under one program, PACE helps seniors maintain independence, improve quality of life, and continue living in their communities with dignity.
