PACE Resources
PACE (Program for All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) is a national model of coordinated care and coverage. It provides older adults and their caregivers with an innovative choice in heath care and support – allowing seniors to live in participating assisted living communities.
The flexibility of PACE allows each program to customize an individualized care plan for each older adult. PACE is designed to help each member maximize his or her potential while living a healthy, productive life in the comfort of a community-based setting with their peers rather than an institutionalized environment. Participants keep connected to their community and involved in their well-being.
