GRACE Team Care has been proven to improve the health and quality of life of low-income
seniors by working with patients in their homes and in their communities to manage
health problems, track changing care needs, and leverage needed social services.
Studies show that GRACE can improve care quality and outcomes, and lower the cost
of medical care. GRACE Team Care is:
