Rocky Mountain Health Care Services

What Rocky Mountain Health Care Services does

Rocky Mountain Health Care Services (RMHCS) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1976 and headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The organization provides coordinated healthcare and support services to older adults in El Paso County through its wholly owned subsidiary, Rocky Mountain PACE (Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly). The PACE model integrates medical, rehabilitative, social, behavioral health, and recreational therapy services for elderly participants who qualify for nursing home-level care but wish to remain in their communities, delivered through three day center locations (Explorer Drive, Pikes Peak Avenue, and Quail Lake Loop) combined with in-home care.

The core operational technology is the PACE integrated care delivery model itself, a federally recognized Medicare/Medicaid waiver framework rather than a proprietary software product. Services are distributed through phone/email contact channels, physical day center locations, and community-based volunteer programs (Day Center Ambassador, Friendly Visitor, Friendly Voices). Revenue is generated primarily through capitated Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement for PACE program services, supplemented by tax-deductible donations supporting participant emergency needs and care enrichment. The participant base consists of older adults requiring nursing home-level care who prefer community-based independence.

In September 2025, RMHCS was recognized by the Alliance for PACE Innovation and Quality as a Pioneer Navigator PACE Organization for performance across People, Stewardship, Access, and Caring domains. In 2026, the organization merged with Bethesda Senior Living Communities to form Elevation Senior Services, expanding the combined entity to 23 communities across five states under CEO Dana Rasic. The merged organization has received multiple workplace and culture awards in 2025, including Best-in-Class Employer (Gallagher), Kudos Healthcare Best Culture Leader Award, and Better Business Bureau Excellence in Business Award.

Direct peers

• WelbeHealth: A growing PACE operator backed by private equity that delivers the same capitated, integrated care model for frail seniors, directly competing for state PACE contracts and clinician talent.
• InnovAge Holding Corp: The largest publicly traded pure-play PACE operator in the US, offering the same Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly model serving dual-eligible seniors through day centers and in-home care.
• Trinity Health PACE: Operates multiple PACE programs under Trinity Health, providing the same all-inclusive elder care delivery model for nursing-home-eligible seniors who want to remain in their communities.
• Lutheran SeniorLife PACE: Nonprofit PACE provider serving seniors with the integrated Medicare/Medicaid capitated care model, structurally and operationally similar to Rocky Mountain PACE.

Broad incumbents

• CenterWell Senior Primary Care (Humana): Humana-owned senior-focused primary care and home care platform that overlaps with PACE-style care coordination for Medicare Advantage seniors, though it does not operate PACE-specific programs.
• Genesis HealthCare: Large skilled nursing and post-acute care provider that competes for the same elderly patient population PACE serves, often as the institutional alternative that PACE aims to avoid.
• Brookdale Senior Living: Largest US senior living operator offering assisted living, independent living, and memory care; comparable only post-Bethesda merger as a fellow senior care community operator, not as a PACE provider.
• LHC Group: National home health, hospice, and home-based care provider with significant overlap in the in-home clinical services and therapy offerings that complement PACE day center care.
• Amedisys: Home health and hospice provider serving frail elderly patients; competes for in-home skilled nursing and therapy services that are also core components of the PACE model.

Others

• National PACE Association: Industry association representing all PACE programs and serving as the central advocacy, training, and quality benchmarking body that Rocky Mountain participates in through APIQ recognition.
