“Chronic disease management is a critical aspect of gerontological public health due to the high prevalence of chronic conditions among older adults. …Integrated care models that combine health care delivery with social and community services are gaining traction. These models provide holistic care that addresses both medical and social needs. For example, the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) integrates medical care, social services and long-term care for frail older adults, significantly improving health outcomes and reducing hospitalizations,” reports a new article in the Cureus Journal of Medical Science.

About us
The National PACE Association (NPA) works to advance the efforts of Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE®) so older individuals can continue living in their community. The PACE model is centered on the belief that it is better for the well-being of seniors with chronic care needs and their families to be served in the community whenever possible. PACE serves individuals who are age 55 or over, certified by their state to need nursing home care, are able to live safely in the community at the time of enrollment, and live in a PACE service area. Although all PACE participants must be certified to need nursing home care to enroll in PACE, only about 7 percent of participants nationally reside in a nursing home.
