What Is PACE?
PACE stands for the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly. In Florida, it is one of the programs this guide's tool checks when you describe a parent's care and money situation. It is generally meant for older adults who need a nursing-home level of care but want to stay in the community.
Who PACE Might Help
PACE is generally aimed at seniors who need significant help with daily care. The exact age, income, and health requirements are set by the program and by Florida rules. This page does not have those specific numbers, so you must confirm them with the PACE program or the agency that runs it in your area.
How PACE Relates to Paying a Family Caregiver
This tool groups PACE together with other Florida options — the Medicaid Long-Term Care waiver, VA Aid & Attendance, and the VA Survivors Pension — because each one can, in some cases, help pay for a parent's care or support a family caregiver. How PACE specifically handles caregiver pay is not detailed in this material. Ask the PACE program directly whether family caregiver arrangements are included.
What to Gather Before You Ask
- The parent's age and where they live in Florida.
- A description of the daily care they need.
- Current income and health insurance information, including Medicaid or Medicare status.
- Any current caregiving arrangement, paid or unpaid.
What We Don't Know Yet
This page does not include PACE income limits, specific eligibility rules, service areas, or application steps. Those details come from the program itself and can change. This is not legal, medical, or benefits advice. Always confirm details with PACE or a qualified professional before making decisions.
What to Do Next
Use the free tool that goes with this guide. It reads your own description of the parent, the care, and the money — in your own words — and gives a plain-English pre-check of which Florida programs, including PACE, might fit. It does not replace advice from PACE or a benefits professional, but it can help you know what to ask.
