WASHINGTON, DC – Sept. 1, 2025 – September is National PACE Month, a celebration of the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE). The National PACE Association (NPA) announced that the theme of this year's observance is "Your Health. Your Journey. Our Support." The theme highlights the personalized care and support that PACE participants and their caregivers receive through the program.

PACE provides comprehensive medical and social services to more than 88,000 seniors with chronic care needs across the country. PACE allows them to remain living in their homes rather than enter a nursing home. Care is provided by interdisciplinary teams comprised of primary care professionals, registered nurses, home care coordinators, personal care attendants, dietitians, social workers, transportation specialists, center managers, and physical, occupational and recreational therapists.

Through services like prescription drugs, medical care, transportation and meals, PACE has significantly improved the quality of life for its participants and their caregivers.

The need for PACE services continues to grow. More PACE programs opened in 2024 than ever before. Today, 188 PACE programs operate in 33 states and the District of Columbia. 

Throughout National PACE Month, PACE centers will hold special events celebrating the work they do in their communities. Find a PACE program near you!

The National PACE Association (NPA) works  to advance the efforts of PACE programs, which coordinate and provide preventive, primary, acute and long-term care services so older individuals can continue living in the community. The PACE model of care is centered on the belief that it is better for the well-being of seniors with chronic care needs and their families to be served in the community whenever possible.
