What is PACE?

Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly

Does your loved one need nursing home level of care and want to remain safely in their own home?

PACE is a federal- and state-funded program throughout the country. The PACE model is centered on the belief that it is better for you and your family to be served in your own community whenever possible.

PACE uses Medicare and Medicaid funds to cover all of your medically necessary care and services. You can also pay for PACE privately if you don’t have Medicare or Medicaid.

PACE embraces your physical, mental, and social health in a “one-stop shopping” model with you at the center. Care is delivered at a full-service Primary Care Clinic, adult Day Center, and through a network of community providers.
