The Forum: Wednesday March 25, 2026

The City of Montrose held a community informational meeting on March 25, 2026, featuring a detailed presentation about the PACE (Program for All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) program operated by Volunteers of America. The discussion focused on the program's comprehensive services for elderly participants, including medical care, home care, therapy, transportation, and caregiver support. While the meeting did not involve direct procurement decisions or contract awards, it highlighted the program's use of contracts with local providers for services such as dentistry and mental health, indicating ongoing vendor partnerships. Funding was explained as primarily coming from Medicaid and Medicare capitated payments, with no additional costs to participants. The presentation also touched on coordination with community resources and the potential for donations to support specific services like respite care. No votes or motions related to procurement were recorded during the meeting.
