Community Catalyst Brief: Care That Works: PACE
The Center for Consumer Engagement in Health Innovation, an initiative of Community Catalyst, has launched a new series of briefs entitled, “Care That Works.” The first brief is "Care That Works: PACE."
The brief shares an overview of the ground-breaking Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) pioneered in San Francisco in the early 1970s, and the story of a current PACE participant in Michigan.
The goal of PACE is to help older adults live in the community as independently as possible for as long as possible. To do that, these programs offer a wide range of services, from adult day programs to medical, nursing, social services, transportation, pharmacy and long-term services and supports.
