The sun shined brightly as families released balloons to symbolize the release of their loved ones.
PACE@Home recently held its annual Celebration of Life event to honor the lives of Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) participants who have passed away during a special ceremony held at the organization’s day center located in Newton, NC.
The ceremony included special music and beautiful ornaments to commemorate each participant who has passed away. The event was very moving as it recognized them individually, while their loved ones gathered to reflect on how they brightened their lives.
For more than 10 years, PACE@Home has been providing quality all-inclusive care for individuals who have serious conditions or disabilities and wish to remain independent for as long as they can. The organization’s specially trained staff offers dozens of healthcare services from adult day care to medications, dental care and recreational activities to help seniors remain in their community while staying as healthy as possible.
"We're honored to be a part of celebrating the lives and stories of our participants,” says Executive Director, Emily Jones. "We want to celebrate all those who have passed away, knowing they will always remain in our hearts.”
