Special Use Permit Narrative
For Elderhaus Day Facility at Kings Grant
Elderhaus is an organization that provides total senior care for those 55 years of age and older.
It supports independent living while at the same time promoting community and quality of life
by providing medical care, adult day care, on‐going rehabilitative therapies, in‐home care
services, transportation and counseling.
The subject site was previously used as a church and child daycare. The existing buildings
fronting South College Road will be retained and renovated into administration offices, meeting
rooms, and supply storage. The existing building on the western side of the property will be
expanded by approximately 5000 s.f. and a covered drop‐off area provided. The existing
parking area will be improved and additional staff and client parking will be added around the
site. Landscaping for buffers, streetyards and interior aesthetics will be upgraded to current
standards.
The facility is open from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday only. There are no
operations on weekends or holidays. Nor is there any residential living component to the use.
It is strictly a day care facility for seniors only.
There are around 70 regular employees and up to 112 participants on a daily basis. Many of
those are transported via the eleven (11) facility buses that provide home pick‐up and drop‐off
service.
The program is called PACE – Program of All‐Inclusive Care for the Elderly. Additional
information is attached.
This permit will allow a much needed community service.
Quick Facts about Programs of All-Inclusive
Care for the Elderly (PACE)
What are Programs of All-inclusive Care for the
Elderly (PACE)?
PACE is a Medicare program and Medicaid state option that provides community-
based care and services to people age 55 or older who otherwise would need a
nursing home level of care. PACE was created as a way to provide you, your family,
caregivers, and professional health care providers flexibility to meet your health care
needs and to help you continue living in the community.
A team of health care professionals will give you the coordinated care you need.
These professionals are also experts in working with older people. They will work
together with you and your family (if appropriate) to develop your most effective
plan of care.
PACE provides all the care and services covered by Medicare and Medicaid, as
authorized by the health care team. They also cover additional medically-necessary care
and services not covered by Medicare and Medicaid that the team may decide you
need. PACE provides coverage for prescription drugs, doctor care, transportation,
home care, checkups, hospital visits, and nursing home stays when necessary.
Who can join PACE?
You can join PACE if you meet the following conditions:
•You’re 55 years old or older.
•You live in the service area of a PACE organization.
•You’re certified by the state in which you live as needing a nursing home level of
care.
•You would be able to live safely in the community if you get PACE services.
Note:You can leave a PACE program at any time.

CENTERS FOR MEDICARE&MEDICAID SERVICES
PACE services include (but aren’t limited to) the
following:
★★
•Adult Day Care •Primary Care (including doctor and
•Recreational Therapy nursing services)
•Meals •Hospital Care
•Dentistry •Medical Specialty Services
•Nutritional Counseling •Prescription Drugs
•Social Services •Nursing Home Care
•Laboratory/X-ray Services •Emergency Services
•Social Work Counseling •Home Care
•Transportation •Physical Therapy
•Occupational Therapy
PACE also includes all other services that are available in your area and determined
necessary by your team of health care professionals to improve and maintain your
overall health.
What do I need to know about PACE?
PACE Provides Comprehensive Care
PACE uses Medicare and Medicaid funds to cover all of your medically-necessary care
and services. You can have either Medicare or Medicaid, or both, to join PACE. You
can also pay for PACE privately, if you do not have Medicare or Medicaid.
The Focus is on You
You have a team of health care professionals to help you make health care decisions.
Your team is experienced in caring for people like you. Usually they care for a small
number of people. That way, they get to know you, what your living situation is, and
your preferences. You and your family participate as the team develops and updates
your plan of care and your goals in the program. When you enroll in PACE, you
may be required to use a PACE preferred physician. These physicians are best suited
to help you make health care decisions.
PACE Covers Prescription Drugs
PACE organizations offer Medicare prescription drug coverage (Part D). If you join a
PACE program, you’ll get your Part D-covered drugs and all other necessary
medication from the PACE program.
Note:If you’re in a PACE program, you don’t need to join a separate Medicare drug
plan. If you do, you will be disenrolled from your PACE health and prescription
drug benefits.

What do I need to know about PACE? (continued)
PACE Supports Family Caregivers
PACE organizations support your family members and other caregivers with
caregiving training, support groups, and respite care to help families keep their
loved ones in the community.
PACE Provides Services in the Community
PACE organizations provide care and services in the home, the community, and
the PACE center. They have contracts with many specialists and other providers
in the community to make sure that you get the care you need. Many PACE
participants get most of their care from staff employed by the PACE organization
in the PACE center. PACE centers meet state and federal safety requirements and
include adult day programs, primary care from physicians and nurses, activities,
and occupational and physical therapy facilities.
Preventive Care is Covered and Encouraged
Every PACE organization is focused on helping you live in the community for as
long as possible. To meet this goal, PACE organizations focus on preventive care.
PACE Provides Medical Transportation
PACE organizations provide all medically-necessary transportation to the PACE
center for activities or medical appointments. You may also be able to get
transportation to some medical appointments in the community.
What You Pay for PACE Depends on Your Financial Situation
If you have Medicaid, you will not have to pay a monthly premium for the
long-term care portion of the PACE benefit. If you don’t qualify for Medicaid but
you have Medicare, you will be charged a monthly premium to cover the long-
term care portion of the PACE benefit and a premium for Medicare Part D drugs.
However, in PACE there is never a deductible or copayment for any drug, service,
or care approved by the PACE team.
Traffic Impact Worksheet
Prior to submission of nonresidential site plan, this worksheet must be prepared. A
Traffic Impact Analysis will be required for all projects generating 100 peak hour trips
or more. The scope of the TIA shall be determined by concurrence of the Planning
Director, the MPO coordinator and NCDOT traffic engineer. Any mitigation measures
required must be included in the final site plan submitted for review.

Subject: RE: Elderhaus PACE Program Information
Mike,
The trip generation (based on my understanding) does not exceed the 100 peak hour requirement or
the 3,000 ADT NCDOT requirement. A TIA will not be needed.
This is based on the limited information in the email trail below. If the use is greater than shown below
or distributed in a different method the results will change. The trips were based on 15,000 square foot
of medical office and 15,000 square foot of recreational center. If this is not the correct distribution of
square footage or is not the correct total square footage please provide updated numbers so that I can
verify the trip gen for the correct use/size of the development. I also did not reduce for the current use
as I do not have a breakdown for that.
Thanks,
