Program for the All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE)
The Program for the All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) is administered by the New York State Department of Health and serves adults aged 55 years or older who reside within the Plan's service area. Contact the Department of Health to learn about eligibility and available services.
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 New York?
Residency is usually the first thing a program checks.
- 02
Is the person receiving care in the covered age range (55–null)?
- 03
Does the VA disability rating meet the program’s minimum (our record lists null%)?
- 04
Do the work hours meet the minimum (our record lists null hours)?
- 05
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.
- 06
What documents do you need from us to start an application?
- 07
Is there a waitlist right now, and how long is it?
