Even if you’ve lived a healthy life, as you enter your 50s, your risk of developing chronic diseases, such as arthritis, heart conditions, cancer, diabetes, and even depression increases.

AltaMed PACE Can Help Keep Seniors Healthy and Independent at Home
The Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly, or PACE, was established by Medicare to help independent seniors with complex medical needs. The program helps participants avoid nursing homes and instead, receive the care and services necessary to help them stay safe, comfortable, and healthy living in their own home.
PACE offers care coordination, transportation, social services, and meals, all in a positive, comfortable environment. It’s health care that puts the focus on ‘care,’ connecting seniors with peers in their community as well as the PACE staff who are committed to treating participants with dignity, respect, and compassion.

A Track Record of Success
PACE has been a cornerstone of AltaMed’s success since 1996. In fact, AltaMed was California’s first licensed and accredited PACE program. The AltaMed PACE program has grown to 11 centers, serving more than 3,000 seniors each year.

Who’s Eligible for PACE
PACE is for independent seniors (55+) who may need assistance in performing activities of daily living but can still live in their homes and navigate their communities with the help of PACE services. Medicare-eligible seniors who live in the PACE service area are encouraged to apply.

Notice of Transportation Reasonable Modification
"Lock-in" Provision
When you enroll with AltaMed PACE, we will be your sole service provider and you agree to receive medical services exclusively from our organization, except in the case of an emergency or for urgently needed services. You will have access to all the care you need through our staff or through arrangements that AltaMed PACE makes with contract providers, but you will no longer be able to obtain services from other doctors or medical providers under the traditional fee-for-service Medicare and Medi-Cal system. Enrollment in AltaMed PACE results in disenrollment from any other Medicare or Medi-Cal pre-payment plan or optional benefit.
Electing enrollment in any other Medicare or Medi-cal prepayment plan or optional benefit, including the hospice benefit, after enrolling in AltaMed PACE is considered a voluntary disenrollment from AltaMed PACE. (Please note that any services you use before your enrollment will not be paid for by AltaMed PACE unless these are specifically authorized.)
