Getting older comes with its own set of challenges, but staying healthy and active shouldn’t be one of them. That’s where PACE, or the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly, can make a big difference. This program helps seniors stay independent, healthy, and happy. Let’s take a closer look at what PACE is and how it can help you or someone you care about.

What Is PACE?

PACE is a program that brings together all the care seniors need, all in one spot. From doctor visits to fun activities, PACE focuses on making life easier for older adults while keeping them connected to their communities.

Here’s What PACE Offers:

• Medical Care: Doctor visits, nurses, and specialists are ready to help with health needs.
• Therapy Services: Includes physical, speech, and occupational therapy to keep seniors moving and communicating.
• Social Activities: Social activities help keep seniors engaged and connected.

How Does PACE Work?

PACE centers are located in local communities, so seniors don’t have to travel far to get the care they need. The program’s team works with each person to create a care plan that’s just right for them.

Who Can Join PACE?

You can qualify for PACE if you:

• You are 55 years old or older.
• You live in the service area of a PACE organization.

Why Choose PACE?

PACE is more than just a healthcare program, it’s about making life better. Here’s why it’s a great choice for seniors:

• Complete Care: PACE covers all healthcare services, so there’s no need to juggle multiple providers.
• Personalized Support: Each person gets a care plan tailored to their unique needs.
• Independence and Community: Seniors stay in their homes and neighborhoods while staying active and connected.

What’s Included in PACE?

PACE includes many helpful services to meet the health and well-being needs of seniors. Here are some things the program often provides:

• Doctor Visits and Specialty Care: Routine check-ups and visits to specialists when needed.
