What is a PACE program?

· The P*rogram of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE)* is a unique health care model designed to help seniors (participants) stay safely in their home for as long as possible. PACE coordinates and provides or facilitates all medical care for its participants. Services are delivered across various settings, including on site at the PACE center, in the community, and in participant homes.
