A crowd gathered for the ribbon-cutting and open house of the Providence Elder-
Place North Coast facility located at 1150 N. Roosevelt Drive in Seaside.
Nearly 100 people gathered last
month for the ribbon-cutting and open
house of the Providence ElderPlace
North Coast facility located at 1150
N. Roosevelt Drive, Suite 104 in Sea-
side.
Providence ElderPlace is part of
the program of all-inclusive care for
the elderly, a federally recognized pro-
gram with over 114 sites operating in
32 states. PACE helps seniors maintain
independence and health for as long as
possible by combining medical cover-
age with long-term care and social ser-
vices. PACE is widely viewed as a pro-
gram that enhances the quality of life for
seniors.
Providence ElderPlace offers an in-
tegrated team of medical professionals,
including doctors, nurses, social work-
ers, therapists, and caregivers. The goal
is to get to know each ElderPlace partic-
ipant on a personal level.
The program is open to anyone who is
age 55 or older and is in need of support

add an antenna to the existing

new cellular service facili-
ty adjacent to the T-Mobile

Street.
“AT&T’s goal is to great-
ly improve coverage in the
Cannon Beach area,” said
Ken Lyons, an attorney for
the company.
