Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE)
Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) administered by Rhode Island Executive Office of Health and Human 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 Rhode Island?
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?
