Insider Monkey Score: 13

There is a program offered by Medicare called PACE, or Program for All-inclusive Care for the Elderly. This program allows individuals to meet their healthcare needs in the community instead of going to a nursing home or even an assisted living facility. For those who join PACE, a team of healthcare professionals work with them and coordinate their care. Some of the services PACE may cover include home care, hospital care, emergency services, dentistry, meals, nursing home care, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and social work counseling, to name a few.
