As healthcare leaders gathered in Washington, D.C. in mid-June for the Healthcare of Tomorrow 2026 Conference, one message emerged clearly: improving care for older adults requires stronger collaboration across the entire continuum of care. Experts emphasized that senior living and community-based care providers must be part of the conversation if healthcare systems hope to reduce hospital readmissions, improve care transitions, support the rapidly growing population over 80 and address looming workforce shortages.
The recommendations shared at the conference align closely with what the McGregor PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) program delivers every day in Cuyahoga, Summit and Lorain counties.
PACE is designed specifically for adults age 55 and older who require a nursing home level of care but can continue living safely at home with the right support. Through partnerships with University Hospitals, Cleveland Clinic, MetroHealth Medical Center, and the Veterans Administration, McGregor PACE provides the kind of coordinated, interdisciplinary care that conference speakers identified as essential to the future of senior healthcare.
Rather than navigating multiple providers and disconnected services, PACE participants receive comprehensive care through a single team that coordinates medical care, therapies, medications, transportation, and in-home support services.
The financial benefits are equally significant. Most participants who qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid pay nothing for services approved by their care team—no deductibles, copays, or unexpected bills.
As healthcare leaders nationwide search for solutions to meet the needs of an aging population, programs like McGregor PACE demonstrate how coordinated, community-based care can help seniors remain independent, improve health outcomes, and reduce strain on hospitals and healthcare systems.
