Programs of all-inclusive care for the elderly (PACE)
Optional benefit programs provided jointly by Medicare and Medicaid that focus entirely on older people who are frail enough to meet their state's Mecicaid standards for nursing home care. The PACE service package must include all Medicare services covered by the state plus all medical, social, & rehabilitative services that enrollees need to (1) preserve or restore their independence, (2) remain in their homes and communities, and (3) maintain their quality of life.
