Welbe Health PACE Center Fresno is under construction at the corner of Cedar Avenue and Hampton Way, a 20,000-square-foot building providing medical, behavioral and social services. The program is designed for people eligible for nursing home care who want to remain in their homes.

Timeline
End of 2027: United Health Centers expansion expected to open next to its existing facility near Marks and Ashlan avenues.
Industry Landscape
The Welbe Health project follows the PACE model, which offers an in-home alternative to nursing home care for older adults. Its Fresno location expands that model into a community-based setting near existing healthcare facilities.
Fresno seniors who qualify for nursing home care may be able to receive daily medical, social and therapy services at home through the PACE program. Families would be relieved of arranging separate transportation, since clients are driven home by private van each day.
The takeaway
Older adults who want to stay in their homes may have more local options than traditional nursing care, and families should watch for the opening of new Fresno senior and healthcare facilities.
