Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE)

What is PACE?

PACE is a managed medical plan that helps seniors meet their health care needs in their home and in the community instead of in a nursing home or other elder care facility. PACE stands for Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly and it truly is all-inclusive. PACE, you have a team of medical experts and health care professionals working directly with you and your family to ensure you get the most effective plan of care.

If you're 55 years or older and have a chronic condition you may qualify for PACE via MediCal.

PACE is specifically designed for seniors 55 years and older who have chronic medical conditions and are struggling to live at home independently. With St. Paul’s PACE, you can remain in the comfort of your home and get the medical care you need, rather than moving to an assisted living facility or retirement home. We understand that the ability to live independently is important and that ongoing medical and social conditions can make independence a struggle and can make you unsafe in your own home learn more about what is PACE

PACE provides for a wide range of healthcare needs. As part of PACE, you receive:

•  primary medical care, 
• medication management, 
• physical therapy, 
• specialty services (such as optometry or podiatry), 
• in-home care, social work assistance, and more. 
• Transportation to and from the wellness center is even included.

St. Paul’s PACE has four wellness centers where our medical team and therapists provide care. Our wellness centers also offer scheduled activities and social events which give you the opportunity to relax and socialize with people your own age. We even provide three-course meals, entertainment, and educational forums at our wellness centers which are managed by certified nursing assistants. 

For those with Medi-Cal and no share of cost, PACE services are free-of-charge, there are no co-pays or out-of-pocket expenses. Those who do not qualify for Medi-Cal may discuss out-of-pocket costs with our enrollment specialists. St. Paul’s PACE supports your independence while providing the coordinated care you need.

Please know all services are provided on an as-needed basis as approved by our Care Team. Some Medi-Cal aid codes do not qualify for PACE coverage, though most senior-related aid codes do.
