WelbeHealth provides comprehensive care services specifically designed for older adults. The company uses the PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) model, which combines medical, social, and long-term care services for seniors who prefer to live at home rather than in nursing facilities. This model allows WelbeHealth to create personalized care plans that cater to the individual needs and preferences of each patient, developed in collaboration with their families. The services offered include medical care, physical therapy, social activities, and transportation, funded through a mix of government programs like Medicare and Medicaid, as well as private payments. What sets WelbeHealth apart from its competitors is its focus on maintaining the independence and quality of life of elderly clients through tailored, patient-centered care. The goal of WelbeHealth is to enhance the well-being of seniors, ensuring they receive the support they need to live fulfilling lives.
