PACE (Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly) is a national model of care that provides older adults and their care givers health care and support. PACE Programs are innovative because they provide continuous care and services offering individuals eligible for nursing home care the option of continuing to live in the community.
The PACE model is based on the belief and experience that older adults with chronic care needs are better served living in their homes and communities, whenever possible.

The PACE Interdisciplinary Team consists of health care and social service providers that work in partnership with the participant and caregiver, by creating a comprehensive plan of care designed for each participant.
This individualized plan covers the needs of the participant for as long as they are enrolled in the program. The plan is reviewed and discussed every six months or on an as needed basis. Services can be delivered at a PACE Center, home or a contracted medical facility.

- Primary Care Provider
- Registered Nurse
- Master’s Level Social Worker
