Kinship PACE of Indiana - Kokomo | Proud Dental Office Partner

 The Kinship PACE Kokomo program is part of the national PACE model, which stands for “Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly.” Their mission is centered around helping adults age 55+ with complex healthcare needs remain safely and independently in their own homes and communities instead of moving into long-term nursing facilities.

The Kokomo center, located on South Reed Road, brings together coordinated medical care, therapy, transportation, nutrition services, social activities, home care support, and specialty partnerships all under one collaborative healthcare model.

What makes the Kinship PACE model so unique is that it is deeply relationship-driven. Their interdisciplinary teams work together to care for the whole person — not just a diagnosis. That includes physical health, emotional well-being, mobility, nutrition, social connection, and quality of life.

As one of their dental office partners, LADD Dental Group has the opportunity to play an incredibly meaningful role in that mission.

Dental care is often one of the most overlooked parts of senior healthcare, yet oral health directly impacts:

  • Nutrition and the ability to eat comfortably
  • Confidence and social engagement
  • Infection prevention
  • Chronic disease management
  • Overall quality of life

By partnering with Kinship PACE, we are able to help ensure that seniors in our communities continue receiving compassionate, high-quality dental care as part of their overall healthcare journey.

We are especially grateful because programs like Kinship PACE are intentional about building true healthcare collaboration. They understand that excellent patient outcomes happen when medical providers, therapists, caregivers, transportation teams, and dental professionals all work together for the benefit of the patient.

At LADD Dental Group, community partnership has always been at the heart of what we do. Being trusted as a dental partner for the Kinship PACE Kokomo program is an honor because it allows us to serve some of the most deserving members of our community with dignity, compassion, and continuity of care.

Dental Work | Importance of Routine Dental Care | Preventative Dental Care

Importance of Routine Dental Care  When I was in my 30s and a dentist told me I needed a few crowns , I decided to skip the expensive devices because of my meager paycheck. Besides, my teeth weren't hurting. Years later, I am paying the price in pain and costlier dental work . One of the damaged teeth that needed a crown distorted my bite, making a minor jaw-joint problem even worse. Unfortunately I'm far from alone. The price of dental care is steep for many people financially, physically and even socially, according to Marko Vujicic, chief economist and vice president of the Health Policy Institute at the American Dental Association. Vujicic said that the  majority of emergency room dental visits  were for infections that could be handled in a dentist's office. Overall, emergency room dental visits cost $1.9 billion yearly, 40 percent of which is public money, according to his institute's analysis of data from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quali...
