The PACE program has been available for years, but has received little mention by the media. As a result, many families with a loved one who needs long-term care are not familiar with this option.
These programs provide members with care that allows them to live at home longer and more comfortably, as long as possible, by coordinating medical and social services in day centers and through home care. Everyone's situation is unique, so the type of care you receive is determined by a customized plan designed by an interdisciplinary team which includes a primary care physician.
This is NOT Adult Day Care. These programs deliver a much broader approach to your care than you'd expect in Adult Day Care.
