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

What is Pace?

The Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) s designed for seniors with chronic care needs and their families to allow qualified individuals the opportunity to remain in the community for as long as possible. The program promotes quality, comprehensive health services for older adults. The primary care physicians and interdisciplinary team of professionals provide and coordinate all services for the individual, offering a “one-stop shop” for their needs. Most services are provided at home and at the PACE Center.

PACE is care that revolves around you. PACE was created as a way to provide you, your family, caregivers and professional health care providers the flexibility to meet your needs and help you continue to live in your community.
