PACE: Game-Changing Care for California Seniors
Update: 2025-12-26
Description
PACE: A Game-Changer for California Seniors - This podcast episode explores the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), a California initiative that empowers seniors to age at home with dignity and independence. PACE offers comprehensive medical and social services, including primary care, physical therapy, dental visits, social work, transportation, meals, home care, and day center activities. Funded through Medicare and Medi-Cal, PACE has shown significant benefits, such as reduced hospitalizations, lower emergency room use, better medication adherence, and higher satisfaction among participants. Moreover, PACE saves taxpayers money by reducing the strain on Medi-Cal and nursing homes. However, PACE is underused due to startup costs and red tape, and expanding this model is crucial as nearly one in four Californians over sixty by 2030. Checkout Solipillow.com
