PACE 2.0 - Adapting and Disseminating PACE to Serve High-Need, High-Cost Populations

Grant Summary

PACE (Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) enables older adults to avoid nursing home placement by providing coordinated medical and social services to frail, low-income elders and currently serves about 40,000 older adults. With the goal of scaling the PACE model to serve a total of 200,000 older adults, this project has three components: 1) identify new subpopulations PACE could serve such as Veterans and the disabled, 2) develop strategies for scale and spread to achieve a five-fold increase in PACE services, and 3) promote implementation of the spread and scale strategies.
