Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly

The Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) is a Medicare and Medicaid program that provides comprehensive medical and social services that enable older adults to live in the community instead of a nursing home or other care facility. More than 34,000 older adults are currently enrolled in about 100 PACE organizations in 31 states, and enrollment in PACE has increased by over 60 percent since 2011.

On August 11, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services proposed a rule to update and modernize the PACE program, including:

• Strengthening protections and improving care for beneficiaries
• Providing administrative flexibility and regulatory relief for PACE organizations
