Sutter SeniorCare (SSC) is a non-profit health plan exclusively for frail older adults. SSC’s model of care is known as the “Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly” or PACE. The PACE model has been recognized as the most appropriate model of comprehensive care for the frail elderly population.

SSC currently serves a 34-zip code area and has two sites. The mission of SSC is to:

• Provide high quality care and services to its participants
• Take steps to keep participants as healthy and independent as possible
• Prevent premature nursing home placement
