PACE Program - (individuals 55+) avoid nursing homes; and be safe living in their own community.
What Is PACE?
The Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) helps older adults (individuals 55+) with complex care needs avoid nursing homes and instead receive the care and services necessary to help them be safe, comfortable, and healthy while living in their own community.
PACE was created as a way to provide you, your family, caregivers, and professional health care providers the flexibility to meet your health care needs and to help you continue living in the community.
In PACE there is never a co-pay, deductible or coverage gap so you can access the care, services and medications that you need.
An interdisciplinary team of professionals will provide all of the coordinated care you need. These professionals are also experts in working with older people. They will work together with you and your family (if appropriate) to develop your most effective plan of care.
Who Can Enroll?
Enrollment in a PACE program is voluntary. To enroll, individuals must meet the following criteria:
- You are 55 years old or older.
- You live in the service area of a PACE organization.
- You are certified by the state in which you live as meeting the need for the nursing home level of care.
- You are able to live safely in the community with the help of PACE services at the time you enroll.
The average PACE participant is 76 years old and has multiple, complex medical conditions, cognitive and/or functional impairments, and significant health and long-term care needs. Approximately 90 percent are dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid.
People interested in enrolling in a PACE program do not need to be enrolled in Medicare or Medicaid, and no financial criteria are considered in determining eligibility. However, individuals cannot be enrolled in a Medicare Advantage (Part C) plan, a Medicare prepayment plan, or a Medicare prescription drug plan. They cannot be enrolled in hospice services or certain other programs.
