PACE Services
Services of a Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE®) may include, but are not limited to, the options listed below.
PACE covers all Medicare Parts A, B and D benefits, all Medicaid-covered benefits, and any other services or supports that are medically necessary to maintain or improve the health status of PACE program participants.
At the PACE center, participants receive primary care, therapy, meals, recreation, socialization and personal care. In the home, PACE offers skilled care, personal care supportive services, and supports such as ramps, grab bars, and other tools that facilitate participant safety. In the community, PACE offers access to specialists and other providers.
PACE combines the intensity and personal touch of a provider with the coordination and efficiency of a health plan. Members of the interdisciplinary team deliver much of the care directly so they can monitor participants’ health and respond quickly with any necessary changes.
