Along with its educational offerings, McGregor PACE scores very high in the field of care support on the Patient and Family Centered Organizational Self-Assessment Tool ( Self-assessment tool, 2013). Family members are an integral part of the McGregor PACE program. Without them, most participants would be placed in a long-term care facility. They are undeniably active members of the team. Family members have full access to their loved ones while on the site. If the participant is hospitalized or temporarily placed in a long-term care facility, McGregor PACE is still responsible for overseeing the care provided to the participant (McGregor PACE website, n.d.). Family is also welcome in these settings, but is subject to each facility's specific visitation guidelines. Families are encouraged to be involved in the morning meeting, which includes all members of the medical/nursing team. Sentinel or adverse events are immediately shared with the participant/family. Multidisciplinary support is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. A doctor is on call 24 hours a day. If the participant experiences a medical emergency or requires resuscitation efforts, family can be present. This does not occur often, as the family does not stay with the participant during the site's operating hours. Medications are sent to your home monthly and as needed. Some medications are administered in the clinic area, but most are administered by family members while the participant is at home. All pertinent information is provided in writing to the participant/family whenever medications are shipped home or when changes are made to medications.
