The nexus between palliative care and PACE programs
Hospice News, by Jim Parker; 2/14/24
Palliative care is becoming an increasingly prevalent component of Programs for All-Inclusive Care of the Elderly (PACE) programs. PACE programs offer a comprehensive approach to care for participants who meet certain eligibility criteria, mainly to seniors who have significant medical and non-medical needs to help them age in place and avoid the hospital or nursing homes. PACE allows hospices to offer services to address social determinants of health, such as homemaking, transportation, home modification and others.
