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, we offer a full continuum of care, including hospice, palliative care, home health, grief and loss counseling, and our signature PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) program. Our mission centers on “meeting individual needs through innovative care solutions,” and we serve people across multiple counties in northeast Kansas.

The PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) program provides comprehensive, coordinated care for older adults with complex medical needs, including those who are no longer able to safely live at home and now reside in a long-term care facility. Through an interdisciplinary team approach, PACE delivers medical care, rehabilitation, medications, transportation, social services, and supportive therapies tailored to each participant’s individual needs.

Participants also have access to PACE center services, including clinical care, meals, and social activities when appropriate. By integrating healthcare and supportive services under one program, PACE enhances quality of life, promotes dignity, and ensures participants receive personalized, compassionate care regardless of where they live.
