Program for the All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE)

The Program for the All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) is administered by the New York State Department of Health and serves adults aged 55 years or older who reside within the Plan's service area. Contact the Department of Health to learn about eligibility and available services.

Eligibility

  • 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 New York? — Residency is usually the first thing a program checks.
  • Is the person receiving care in the covered age range (55 or older)?
  • 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?
