Support the Expansion of PACE: Invest in a New Future for Our Seniors
Midland Care PACE is excited to announce a significant expansion into Johnson, Miami, and Franklin counties with a new PACE Center in Olathe. This state-of-the-art facility, spanning 22,000 square feet, will feature an adult day center, therapy gym, and physician’s clinic. Construction began in July and is projected to be completed by August 2025.
PACE—Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly—is designed for individuals:
- Aged 55 or older
- Determined by the Kansas Department of Aging and Disability Services to need nursing home care
- Residing in the PACE service area
- Capable of living safely in a community setting at enrollment
Our comprehensive approach, supported by an 11-member interdisciplinary team, provides services both at the center and in participants’ homes. This model not only enhances well-being but also enables older adults to remain in their communities. With approximately 1,478 eligible older adults in the new service area, the need for expanded PACE services is clear.
To bring this vision to life, we have launched a Capital Campaign to raise the $10 million needed for the new center. Thanks to generous donors, we’ve already raised $7.3 million, including a $1.5 million challenge grant from the Mabee Foundation.
We are also offering Kansas Community Service Tax Credits for donations of $250 or more, providing a 50% credit on your state taxes. Here’s how the tax credit can benefit you:
- A $1,500 donation will earn you a $750 tax credit.
- A $5,000 donation will earn you a $2,500 tax credit.
- A $10,000 donation will earn you a $5,000 tax credit.
There is no maximum limit on the eligible gift amount, but a minimum of $250 is required to receive the tax credit. To make a donation and secure your tax credits, please contact our Development Department at 785.232.2044 and ask for Shawna or Jennifer.
Your support will help us reach our goal and provide essential services to older adults in need. Invest in the future of our community and make a lasting impact with your gift today.
