Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE)¶
Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) organizations provide primary care, social, restorative, and supportive services for individuals 55 years of age and older who live in a PACE service area.
Eligibility¶
- Care recipient must have a qualifying disability
- Applicant age: at least 55
- Care recipient age: at least 55
Questions to ask the program¶
These are questions to ask the program, not a verdict on your eligibility. Confirm the current rules directly with the program.
- Does the person receiving care live in Florida? — Residency is usually the first thing a program checks.
- Is the person receiving care in the covered age range (55 or older)?
- What counts as a qualifying disability or level of care need, and what documentation shows it?
- Is there a caregiver-specific department, coordinator, or support line? Ask for it by name. — Many agencies have one that isn’t advertised on the website.
- What documents do you need from us to start an application?
- Is there a waitlist right now, and how long is it?
What this record does not yet say¶
- a direct application link
How to apply¶
- AHCA's PACE page does not describe a beneficiary-facing enrollment process -- the 'PACE Application Process' section on that page is for a prospective PACE ORGANIZATION becoming a state-approved provider, not for individuals enrolling. For individuals, the Department of Elder Affairs (DOEA) determines whether a person meets the PACE level-of-care eligibility requirements.
