The Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) is a federally funded health care plan that offers a variety of services, with many of them provided onsite at a PACE Center.
PACE is an alternative to nursing home care and – through an interdisciplinary care team (IDT) of physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, social workers, therapists, van drivers, and aides – coordinates and provides preventive, primary, acute, and long-term care services, so older individuals can continue living in the community.
The interdisciplinary team collaborates with seniors and their families to create a comprehensive and coordinated personal care plan, makes all necessary appointments, coordinates specialists, manages medication, and provides transportation to and from PACE centers.
While 100% of PACE participants are eligible for nursing facility placement, 87% live safely in the community.1
Only 13% of PACE enrollees are in long term care facilities, compared to 22% of non-PACE consumers who are nursing facility eligible.2
PACE saves the State approximately $30 million annually in health care spending. (2016 data)3
As an alternative to nursing home care, PACE keeps frail seniors in their homes and communities with high rates of satisfaction. Between 2010 and 2016 just over 2% of PACE enrollees voluntarily disenrolled from PACE, indicating PACE participants are very satisfied with their overall care.4
PACE programs strengthen end-of-life planning and help promote not only “quality of life,” but “quality of death” for their participants, allowing participants to choose how and where they want to die surrounded by family and loved ones.5
