Opinion: State’s solution for senior health care hides in plain sight

You’ve likely never heard of PACE, but for thousands of California seniors, it’s the reason they’re still living at home.

PACE stands for Program of All Inclusive Care for the Elderly, and it is an effective option to support older adults whose goal is to safely age in their own homes. As a physician focused on the field of geriatric medicine (a specialty focused on caring for older adults), I believe in the power of PACE. Unfortunately, it remains one of the most underutilized resources in our long-term care system.
