Center for Elders’ Independence operates a PACE program that delivers medical and social care for East Bay seniors who are at least 55 years old and who would otherwise require nursing home placement, with the goal of enabling them to remain in their homes. This model coordinates a range of services, including home care, transportation, social activities, and medical treatment, integrating them to address each participant's needs. It does not provide housing directly but works with senior housing, residential care facilities, hospitals, and family caregivers to coordinate care across settings.

Based in Oakland, California, in the Bay Area, CEI is positioned within the hospitals and health care sector, delivering a PACE-based care model to eligible seniors. External research about PACE indicates participants experience fewer nursing home visits and hospitalizations, greater use of ambulatory care, longer time living in the community, and improved health and functional status. A leadership update in March 2021 named Maria E. Zamora as chief executive officer, following Melissa Welch's 2018 appointment as chief medical officer.
