Program for vulnerable older adults arrives in Kentucky By Susan Dunlap Frankfort, KY - In a continuing effort to promote the health and safety of Kentuckians, Gov. Andy Beshear announced the arrival of the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly, or PACE, in Kentucky last week. The program is designed to provide quality long-term care for people age 55 and older that is cost-effective. "This milestone is years in the making," the Governor said. "The implementation of this PACE in Kentucky expands health care services available to aging Kentuckians who would otherwise qualify for Medicaid nursing home placement. It provides them with an array of home and community-based services - where most people want to remain anyway - and at lesser costs than a nursing home." Enrollees voluntarily take part in the program, a national model that also provides a comprehensive array of medical and social services to individuals who meet program criteria. Most are dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid and would be candidates for long-term care.
