National PACE Association

National PACE Association NPA works to advance the efforts of Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE®) so older individuals can continue living in their community.

Among the more than 100 PACE programs nationwide is Community Care. “If I wasn’t here and didn’t have the family support I do, I would be in a nursing home,” says participant Ann K, who has quadriplegia due to multiple sclerosis. The PACE program and her husband's support have enabled her to enjoy the best of health care, to live at home, to take on important roles in her community, and to spend time with people she enjoys. “We have ready access to doctors and nurses,” says Ann, who serves on the Community Care Board of Directors. “It is all-encompassing, excellent care. With Community Care, life is the very best it can be.”

While older adults are often the subject of health care debate, their voices are often missing from health policy conversations. Among the key challenges they face in today’s health care system is the maze of choices and a lack of neutral enrollment guidance. The Bipartisan Policy Center recommends that Congress support states in expanding access to fully integrated care models such as PACE by offering incentives for integration, strengthening technical assistance on outreach and education, and reducing regulatory barriers.

Older Americans are often the focus of health care debate, but their voices are missing. BPC’s toolkit highlights their experiences and bipartisan reforms to improve affordability, access, caregiving, behavioral health, and financial security.

"Sometimes as you get older, every day isn’t terrific," says Sister Maryanna Euring, a participant at CenterLight PACE, a program of CenterLight Health System. "I don’t feel on top of my game every single day, but knowing that you have that security of somebody to turn to, you can continue with life independently because there’s always that back-up" of PACE.

As Sister Maryanna Euring focuses on taking care of others, the Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), run by CenterLight Healthcare inside the Motherhouse of the Sisters of St. Dominic Convent on Long Island, takes care of her.

The Medicare requirement for cognitive assessment in annual wellness visits is well-meaning, but it has an unintended consequence, writes Anthony Zizza, MD, chief medical officer at Element Care PACE. "Unlike other areas of health we ask physiians to measure, providers are expected to spot cognitive decline without having the precise tools they need to act with confidence, resulting in systemic inefficiencies that clog the entire system. Particularly, a lack of confidence in the data they collect and how to turn it into actionable care."

The solution isn't about creating more referral pathways, but about building the measurement infrastructure that enables excellent primary care providers to act confidently on their observations.

"There are about 44,000 people throughout Alabama who would be candidates for PACE," writes Kathryn Overton, RN, executive director of Mercy LIFE of Alabama, a program of Trinity Health PACE. "If we provided enough capacity for just 4,000 of those people to join a PACE program, the entire state would save some $144 million a year on health care – $3,000 per month per participant."

As things currently stand, we’re limited to 200 funded participant slots.
