Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE)

The Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) is a unique healthcare program designed to provide comprehensive, coordinated care to frail seniors who are eligible for nursing home level care but prefer to live in their communities. PACE programs offer a wide range of healthcare and support services, including medical care, prescription drugs, social services, and rehabilitation therapies, tailored to each participant’s individual needs. PACE participants receive all their healthcare services through a single, integrated system of care, typically coordinated by a team of healthcare professionals who work closely with participants and their families. The goal of PACE is to improve the quality of life for frail elderly individuals by enabling them to remain in their homes and communities while receiving the care and support they need to stay healthy and independent. Participation in PACE is available to individuals who meet specific eligibility criteria, including age requirements and the need for nursing home level care, as determined by a comprehensive assessment.
