Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE)

Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) are comprehensive healthcare programs designed to help seniors who qualify for nursing home care stay in their homes. They provide a wide range of services including medical care, nursing, therapy, social services, and assistance with daily activities, all coordinated through a team of healthcare professionals. PACE aims to improve quality of life, prevent unnecessary hospitalizations, and support independence. It is typically funded by Medicaid and Medicare and requires participants to be eligible for nursing home care but prefers to remain in their community.
