PACE provides:

• A. A pension plan for elderly
• B. An assisted-living placement service
• C. A program that provides medical and social services to help older adults live at home.
• D. A hospital-based acute care program

Answer: (C)

PACE is designed to help older adults continue living at home by delivering a comprehensive, integrated package of medical and social services through an interdisciplinary team. The goal is to coordinate primary care, rehabilitation, social supports, transportation, and other needed services so that participants can age in place rather than move to a nursing facility. It is a Medicare/Medicaid program, not a pension plan, not an assisted-living placement service, and not hospital-based acute care. That makes the description of providing medical and social services to help older adults live at home the best fit.
