To qualify for the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), you must meet four main criteria:
While Medicare and Medicaid are primary funding sources, you can also be eligible with Medicare or through private payment if you don’t qualify for Medicaid but meet the other requirements. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
The four core eligibility requirements
- Age: You must be 55 years of age or older. [1, 2]
- Location: You must live in a geographic area served by a PACE program. [1, 3, 5]
- Nursing Home Level of Care: You must be certified by your state as needing a nursing facility level of care. This means you need a significant amount of help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, or walking. [1, 9, 10]
- Safety: You must be able to live safely in your home or community, even with the support of PACE services. [1, 9]
