Better Care Playbook Webinar Recording: How PACE Can Meet the Needs of Dually Eligible Individuals in Rural Communities
The Better Care Playbook held a webinar on December 7, "How the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly Can Meet the Needs of Dually Eligible Individuals in Rural Communities."
The Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) is designed to meet the physical health, long-term care, and social support needs of individuals aged 55 and older. PACE is a well-established integrated care model that provides high-quality, cost-effective care.
With its adult day health center structure and in-house, interdisciplinary care teams, PACE can serve older adults with complex health and social needs who live in rural areas.
This webinar explored how PACE offers a unique opportunity to address the needs of dually eligible individuals who live in rural communities. It featured perspectives from a rural PACE provider in Kansas as well as state insights from Pennsylvania, which is seeking to offer PACE statewide, including in rural counties.
