Returning from Sacramento last week, I found ithard not to be disheartened by the financialdistress our state is in. Many excellent programs,which support California residents, are injeopardy due to cutbacks, freezes, anddiscontinuation. But the reality is that we all mustbear our share of the pain whether we like it ornot.
St. Paul’s, through its’ subsidiary CommunityEldercare of San Diego (CESD), has been workingfor five years to bring a PACE program to SanDiego. Although funding may not be available from the state thisyear, through the generosity of our donors and The CaliforniaEndowment, we are moving forward!
In November, we will close escrow on our new building to housePACE (it will be leased out until PACE is approved in San Diego)and we are in the process of developing a pre-PACE site at theCommunity Care Center/Senior Day Program.
With your continued prayers, cheerleading and support, we willovercome all obstacles to do the right thing and bring PACE to SanDiego.
Thank you for your help in this regard. Cheryl Wilson

A PLACE FOR PACEFive years is a long time to find a light at the end of
the tunnel. That’s how long Community Eldercare ofSan Diego (CESD) has labored to bring healthcareservices to the most needy and frail seniors in ourcommunity. Despite bureaucratic delays and obstacles,the project shows some tangible results. A new facilitywas acquired at 111 Elm Street to house a Program ofAll-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), a new seniorcare program sponsored by CESD, an affiliate of St. Paul’s Senior Homes & Services.
There will be space for a medical clinic, an adult dayhealth care center, and administrative officesconveniently located in downtown to better serveenrollees in the Medicare/MediCal funded PACEprogram. Private donors and foundation grants for a$3,000,000 capital fund campaign called “Generosityfor Generations” funded this acquisition.
Start-up funding allowing CESD to pursue itsapplications for various state licenses kept a “missionimpossible” effort going with a coalition of the majorsenior care providers in San Diego. Local charitablegroups including the Hamilton-White Foundation,Parker Foundation, Thomas C. Ackerman Foundation,Masserini-French Fund, Pratt Memorial Fund andStafford Memorial Trust had faith in the PACE missionby providing the seed money. The quest turned thecorner when The California Endowment granted$351,925 to St. Paul’s Senior Homes & Services tocomplete the CESD state licensing process and to staffthe new facility for pre-PACE services.
