Pace Program Living Arrangements

Summary

If you believe your home is unsafe for your mom, you can deny her return. PACE must respect your decision and find a safe alternative living arrangement. If your mom insists on returning, involving a social worker or counselor from PACE may help mediate the situation. If the social worker insists she can return, emphasize safety concerns and consider consulting a lawyer for further advice.

My mom lives with me and now she is in the nursing home for rehab from a fall and she goes through the PACE program and i told my mom and PACE she is not allowed back in my house due to it not being safe. My mom can make her own decisions, will PACE let her come back to my house
It sounds like a challenging situation. If your mom can make her own decisions, PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) will likely consider her wishes. However, if you have informed PACE that your home is unsafe and you do not consent to her returning, they will need to find an alternative safe living arrangement for her.
