Elderhaus PACE

What Elderhaus PACE does

Elderhaus PACE is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization founded in 1981 in Wilmington, North Carolina, operating the first Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) site in the state (opened 2008). It is operated by EveryAge (formerly United Church Homes and Services), a Newton, NC-based not-for-profit ministry that runs 18 programs serving 3,300+ older adults across North Carolina and Virginia. Elderhaus delivers three integrated service lines: Elderhaus PACE (comprehensive medical, preventative, and social services via an interdisciplinary care team for frail seniors 55+ certified as nursing-facility-eligible), Elderhaus at the Lake (adult day health services for adults 18+), and Elderhaus Home Care (in-home personal care and homemaker services in New Hanover and eastern Brunswick counties).

The core operating model is the PACE capitation framework, in which Elderhaus assumes clinical and financial responsibility for participants' Medicare- and Medicaid-covered services in exchange for per-capita reimbursement, supplemented by private-pay monthly liabilities from Medicare-only participants and Patient Monthly Liability assessments from Medicaid. Additional revenue streams include adult day health fees (median $21,970/year in NC) and foundation/grant funding from the EveryAge Foundation, The Endowment, and the New Hanover Community Endowment. Notable care-delivery components include a 24/7 on-call primary care physician, wheelchair-equipped transportation, an in-house low-sensory Cozy Cottage for participants with dementia or trauma, and the Grant a Dream wish-fulfillment program.

The company serves seniors in specific zip codes of New Hanover County (Wilmington) and eastern Brunswick County through its PACE center at 1380 N. College Road and adjacent facilities. Go-to-market is community-led, relying on healthcare-provider referrals, social-worker channels, family caregiver word-of-mouth, ACAP Cape Fear educational programs, and a "Request More Information" web funnel. Headcount is 51-100 employees; the organization is privately held as a non-profit and is not part of any equity-backed ownership structure.

Revenue model

1. Medicare and Medicaid Reimbursement: Elderhaus receives reimbursement through Medicare and Medicaid for PACE services. Participants who qualify for Medicare, Medicaid, or both can enroll in PACE. The program covers all Medicare and Medicaid-covered services as authorized by the interdisciplinary team, plus additional medically-necessary care not covered by government programs.
2. Private Pay / Patient Monthly Liability: Participants who only qualify for Medicare pay a set monthly fee. Those over the Medicaid income threshold pay a premium or Patient Monthly Liability (determined by Medicaid based on assets and income). Once enrolled, there are no deductibles, co-pays, or co-insurance.
3. Adult Day Health Services: Adult day health services at Elderhaus at the Lake are billed separately, with costs around $21,970 annually in North Carolina (2025 CareScout data). Services include health monitoring, meals, activities, and transportation.
4. Foundation and Grant Funding: Elderhaus receives grant funding from organizations like The Endowment, EveryAge Foundation, and New Hanover Community Endowment to support operations, marketing, and special initiatives like the Grant a Dream program.

Core offering

Elderhaus PACE provides the Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) to frail seniors aged 55 and older who are certified as eligible for nursing facility care but wish to remain in their homes and communities. Services are coordinated by an interdisciplinary team and include primary and specialty medical care, prescription drugs, transportation, home health and personal care, adult day health, meals, social activities, and 24/7 physician access, financed primarily through Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement.

Product overview

Elderhaus PACE operates as a unified senior care organization offering three distinct but complementary programs: Elderhaus PACE (Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly) as the core product providing comprehensive medical and social services to help seniors age in place; Elderhaus at the Lake, an adult day health center serving adults 18+; and Elderhaus Home Care, offering in-home assistance. All programs are supported by medical care services (primary care, specialty care, nursing, therapy), non-medical care services (transportation, meals, social services, respite), and special initiatives like the Grant a Dream program and the Cozy Cottage sensory room. The organization is sponsored by EveryAge and serves seniors in New Hanover and eastern Brunswick counties in North Carolina.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Carolina SeniorCare (EveryAge): Sibling PACE program operated by EveryAge, the same parent non-profit that runs Elderhaus. Directly comparable in PACE model, reimbursement mechanics, and target senior population, and serves as the immediate template for Elderhaus's growth playbook.
• Piedmont Health SeniorCare: A North Carolina PACE program that is one of the closest direct competitors to Elderhaus. Operates the same PACE capitation model for nursing-home-eligible seniors and competes for the same regional population of dual-eligible seniors in central NC.
• Innovative Health (PACE) / St. Joseph PACE: InnovaAge (formerly Innovative Health) is one of the largest PACE operators in the U.S. with multiple PACE centers across states. Comparable in operating a multi-site PACE platform with interdisciplinary team care for frail seniors.
• Lutheran SeniorLife PACE: Faith-based non-profit PACE provider with adult day health, home care, and coordinated senior services — structurally very similar to Elderhaus, including the integration of multiple care programs under one non-profit umbrella.

Broad incumbents

• Trinity Health PACE: Trinity Health operates a national portfolio of PACE programs as part of a large integrated Catholic health system. Comparable in PACE model and dual-eligible senior population, but with substantially broader scale and capital base than Elderhaus.
• BrightSpring Health Services: Large diversified home and community-based services provider that overlaps with Elderhaus's home care, adult day, and complex care coordination offerings for seniors and disabled populations, though with a much broader portfolio.
• Aveanna Healthcare: Public home health and personal care services company that competes in the same in-home care and adult day segments Elderhaus operates in, though it serves a broader pediatric and adult population nationally.

Emerging players

• WelbeHealth: A venture-backed PACE operator that has rapidly expanded PACE centers in California and other states. Comparable in PACE core model but pursues a more growth-equity-financed scaling strategy versus Elderhaus's non-profit community-based model.

Regional players

• Help at Home: Large personal care and home care services provider focused on Medicaid waiver populations. Operates in many of the same adult day and home care categories Elderhaus serves, with overlap in dual-eligible senior care.

Others

• National PACE Association: Industry trade association representing 200+ PACE programs nationally. Not a direct competitor but the central industry body that shapes PACE reimbursement, regulatory policy, and growth — directly relevant to Elderhaus's operating environment.
