PACE Services
Once enrolled in PACE, you are assigned to an interdisciplinary
care team (IDT) of doctors, nurses, social workers, therapists,
aides, and others. This team works with participants and their
families to develop a comprehensive care plan. They will then
coordinate all necessary appointments, fill prescriptions, and
provide transportation to and from PACE centers.
PACE centers are the hub for medical check-ups, physical /
rehabilitative therapy, meals, social interaction, and
recreational activities.*
