About the organization

Midland Care Connection is a not‑for‑profit, community‑based organization dedicated to helping older adults and seriously ill individuals stay independent and supported in their homes. Established in 1978, the organization offers a full continuum of care, including hospice, palliative care, home health, grief and loss counseling, and its signature PACE (Program of All‑Inclusive Care for the Elderly) program. The mission centers on “meeting individual needs through innovative care solutions,” serving people across multiple counties in northeast Kansas.

PACE Program

The PACE (Program of All‑Inclusive Care for the Elderly) program is designed to help older adults remain safely in their homes rather than entering nursing facilities. It provides complete medical care, rehabilitation, medications, transportation, social services, and supportive therapies—all coordinated by an interdisciplinary care team. Participants receive personalized care plans tailored to their unique needs, along with access to a PACE center for social activities, meals, and clinical services. By integrating medical and supportive care under one program, PACE helps seniors maintain independence, improve quality of life, and continue living in their communities with dignity.
