ALLCARE For Seniors and Mount Rogers PACE

PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) is a program of the Commonwealth of Virginia, the Federal government, and the Appalachian Agency for Senior Citizens. PACE offers a long-term care solution for older adults that is an alternative to nursing facilities. The program is sponsored by Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay funds to provide a full spectrum of services administered and coordinated by a PACE Interdisciplinary Team. PACE is designed to help older adults remain independent in the community as long as is medically feasible by providing services to participants at home, at the PACE center, and in the hospital. Participants can be picked up at their homes and transported to the PACE Center on scheduled days. At the center, they may be scheduled to receive medical care, therapy, and social activities. Participants eat a hot lunch and may receive a morning and afternoon snack. Participants will also be transported, at no cost, to their specialty medical appointments as authorized. The PACE Interdisciplinary Team must authorize all services except emergency care.
