"We pride ourselves on providing best-in-class, compassionate care from the inside out", said Laura Ferrara, Chief Executive Officer. "Our philosophy is that life matters at every stage and our employees embody this commitment with every patient we serve. In turn, at a time when many great organizations have been compelled to reduce staff or worse, we're pleased to have been able to navigate through this pandemic so far without laying off any of our great team members."

Senior Care Partners P.A.C.E. took several steps early in the pandemic that allowed the organization to retain all employees, according to Ferrara, including:

• reimagining how to provide care to program participants from their homes;
• collaborating remotely with staff and reallocating work across departments; and
• reducing participant footprint in an effort to limit potential exposure to COVID 19.

One of the organization's employees said in the anonymous Great Place to Work survey that "They make it a point to make sure your personal needs outside of work are being met, too. It's not just about the job to Senior Care Partners P.A.C.E. If there is something you need and they can help, they will".
