MassPACE

The PACE program has been serving older adults in Massachusetts through MassHealth for 30 years. Since early the early 1990’s, PACE programs in Massachusetts have been providing a continuum of care right at home to older adults who are nursing home eligible and are interested in receiving care in the community. However, this decades old, well-established program has never had a place in state statute to reference. This bill would codify MassPACE in statute.
