Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE)
Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) organizations provide primary care, social, restorative, and supportive services for individuals 55 years of age and older who live in a PACE service area.
Questions that decide eligibility
GiveCare prepares the questions; the program makes the decision. Bring these to the call or the application:
- 01
Does the person receiving care live in Florida?
Residency is usually the first thing a program checks.
- 02
Is the person receiving care in the covered age range (55–null)?
- 03
What counts as a qualifying disability or level of care need, and what documentation shows it?
- 04
Does the VA disability rating meet the program’s minimum (our record lists null%)?
- 05
Do the work hours meet the minimum (our record lists null hours)?
- 06
Is there a caregiver-specific department, coordinator, or support line? Ask for it by name.
Many agencies have one that isn’t advertised on the website.
- 07
What documents do you need from us to start an application?
- 08
Is there a waitlist right now, and how long is it?

How to apply
- 01
AHCA's PACE page does not describe a beneficiary-facing enrollment process -- the 'PACE Application Process' section on that page is for a prospective PACE ORGANIZATION becoming a state-approved provider, not for individuals enrolling. For individuals, the Department of Elder Affairs (DOEA) determines whether a person meets the PACE level-of-care eligibility requirements.
