Establishing PACE (Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly) in Rural Vermont

1 recipient will receive $744,000. This is a first-time earmark.

Year Enacted: 2005

Code: n/a

Description: PACE was established through Congress as a permanent provider under Medicare in 1997. PACE programs provide and coordinate all needed preventive, primary, acute and long term care services for frail, vulnerable elders so they may remain in the community as long as possible. PACE has been well-demonstrated as successful in urban areas. The goal of this project is to demonstrate and evaluate the feasibility of replicating the PACE model in a rural setting. This includes: careful documentation of the implementation experience; estimation of necessary start-up and operational costs; and collaboration with existing providers of long-term and acute care.
