Virgilio’s Story: Everyone treats me like family

< view all blog posts

Virgilio has been a participant at CenterLight Healthcare Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) for 8 years. Virgilio says that since he's been at CenterLight PACE, everyone treats him like he belongs, like a family member. In his own words:

As a blind person, I depend on the voices. And when they talk to me,
and they laugh with me, that's what makes me want to come here.

I’ve met some of the most wonderful and exciting people
and I probably never would have met them if I hadn’t become a member of CenterLight.
