Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE)
Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) serves individuals 55 and older with income equal to or less than 300% of SSI Medicaid coverage who need intermediate or skilled care, providing comprehensive medical and social 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 Oklahoma?
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?

How to apply
- 01
There is no single online PACE application; potential participants contact one of Oklahoma's four PACE organizations (Valir PACE-OKC, Valir PACE-Shawnee, Cherokee Elder Care PACE in Tahlequah, or LIFE PACE in Tulsa, chosen by service-area zip code) or the OHCA PACE Unit (PACEInquiry@okhca.org, 405-522-7044) for information; the PACE organization then helps the senior apply for Medicaid and gather the required financial/asset and income verification documents.
