The Broward PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) program is a comprehensive healthcare service designed to meet the medical, social, and long-term care needs of older adults who qualify. It aims to provide community-based care and services to people who would otherwise need a nursing home level of care.
Families are the major provider of long-term care for their older loved ones and these unpaid caregivers represent the largest source of long-term services and supports in the nation.
Depending on the medical assessments conducted by the Department of Elder Affairs, seniors may be eligible for a wide range of supports, such as nursing home care, dental care, prescription drugs, transportation and homemaker services.
