Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly

What is PACE?

The Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) is a nationwide healthcare program that combines medical and social support for those 55 years or older.

The PACE philosophy is centered on the belief that it is better for seniors with long-term care needs and their families to be served in the community whenever possible.
