St. Paul's Senior Services is investing $12 million to expand its Reasner PACE center in downtown San Diego. The project will add a senior day center, dedicated rehabilitation floor, expanded clinical and administrative offices, and a model apartment to help evaluate seniors' independent living abilities. Once complete by mid-2026, the expanded center is expected to serve up to 800 older adults, a significant increase from the current 450-500 participants.

Why it matters

The expansion is part of St. Paul's broader strategy to centralize and coordinate senior care services in the San Diego region. By bringing more clinical, day, and support services under one roof, the nonprofit aims to make it easier for older adults to access the care they need to remain living independently in their homes for longer.

The details

The $12 million renovation will add new floors and services to the existing Reasner PACE center, including a senior day center, rehab facility, expanded offices, and a model apartment. This is expected to boost capacity from around 450-500 seniors currently to as many as 800 once fully operational by June 2026. The expanded center will also be directly connected to St. Paul's Technology Collaboration Hub in Mission Valley, allowing for remote patient monitoring and telehealth access.

  • Construction and interior build-out will continue over the coming months.
  • The first two renovated floors are expected to open by March 2026.
  • The full Reasner Center is targeted for completion by June 2026.
