Coordinated healthcare and support services that help eligible older adults remain in their community.
PACE is designed to help eligible older adults receive the medical and supportive services they need while continuing to live in their community. It combines healthcare and supportive services into one coordinated program.
For eligible participants, PACE may provide an alternative to nursing facility care by helping individuals receive care while remaining at home or in a community setting whenever possible.
Eligibility requirements vary by program.
Some programs provide meals in community settings where residents enjoy nutritious food while connecting with others.
Exact services depend on the participant’s needs and the PACE organization.
Contact a PACE organization to understand eligibility and possible costs.
Families and caregivers may also contact PACE programs on behalf of a loved one. NJ PACE: 1-800-792-8820
